A recently unveiled exhibit at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., is showcasing what is believed to be the world’s oldest Jewish book.
The five-inch by five-inch book was unearthed in Afghanistan and is comprised of Sabbath morning prayers, poems that tie back to the Old Testament, and what is reportedly the oldest partial version of the Haggadah, a liturgy recited at the Seder during Passover, according to the museum.
The book, known as the Afghan Liturgical Quire, is believed to be some 1,300 years old and was discovered along what was once the Silk Road trading route. The discovery is part of the museum’s exhibit, “Sacred Words: Revealing the Earliest Hebrew Book,” and will remain on display until January. more
Strange that Satan’s lair, Washington DC, would house the Museum of the Bible.
‘”We apologise for the inconvenience.” God’s Final Message to His Creation, written in letters of fire on the side of the Quentulus Quazgar Mountains.
“I think,” Marvin murmured at last, from deep within his corroding rattling thorax, “I feel good about it.”
The lights went out in his eyes for absolutely the very last time ever.’
I have no idea how far back the format we call books originated. This may be the oldest I’m aware of. I know they existed well before Gutenburg cranked up his press but those were not common things. This was likely a treasured personal possession.
Beware the cackling whore who attempts power by sucking cock.
If it was in a cave it may have been bathroom reading.
Occasionally, I wonder what the world would be like today if everybody on Earth could once again witness and nightly gaze upon the open-sky Milky Way and all of the Heavenly Cosmos like our ancient ancestors could commonly see and experience a long time ago and not from telescopes, but actual personal, everyday, real-time observations.
The impression upon their eyes and surrounding Earth environment must have been deeply thought-provoking and which had had to have shaped some deep belief in some Supreme Creator of all they daily saw, heard, touched, felt, smelled, tasted, loved and nightly dreamed about…then dying, still searching.
And yet, still, without an answer, from across the scope of Humankind, who came closest with their many attempts and gifts of their Religious interpretations of such indescribable, breath-taking enormity. So…
Where are we now? When, our past was with the stars.

I appreciate your good thoughts and words.
God’s creation is open for all to see. All of it created by a supreme being and most scientists can’t handle that.
1300 years old is 700 a.d. Some of the dead Sea scrolls are dated 500 years b c. this story was written by someone who knows nothing unless you’re going to say it’s a book and not a scroll I still say bullshit to this nothing story
pianamusic — Many thank you’s for your comment. The stars tell not only of our past, but also of our future. Have you watched “The Stars of Revelation”? Don’t know yet what to make of it, but it’s fascinating.
In a few weeks the democrats will scour caves all over the country searching for misplaced votes.
