A 10,000 year old claw hammer head with a bit of wood still attached revealed under analysis steel harder and stronger than what we have now. To forge this hammer would have taken a forge running much hotter than the ones we currently have in state of the art steel foundries. Just saying that what you’ve been taught or indoctrinated with is dead wrong.

this book does not look authentic, at all...
the frayed edges that don't further break up upon turning the pages is a red flag.. ( there is a pattern to the frayed effect on each page )
the crispness of the pages indicates new paper
Oh.. and it's been on YouTube for almost a year...
that should tell you how fake this is.

DIGGING COMMENCED
"Gendarmerie units in Turkey's northwestern Bilecik province confiscated two rare, ancient, gold-plated Torahs, estimated to be worth at least TL 8 million ($1.86 million), reports said." - https://web.archive.org/web/20180508182543/https://www.dailysabah.com/turkey/2018/05/08/turkish-security-forces-seize-2-ancient-gold-plated-torahs
https://www.rt.com/news/423513-ancient-bible-confiscated-turkish-police/
It seems like certain news sites have deleted the images, because they still show up in search (such as Times of Israel). SOME HAVE NOT! Such as CNN Turkey:
cnnturk.com/turkiye/altin-varakli-zumrut-ve-yakut-suslemeli-tevrat-operasyonu / https://web.archive.org/web/20191129181550/https://www.cnnturk.com/web/20191129181550/https://www.cnnturk.com/turkiye/altin-varakli-zumrut-ve-yakut-suslemeli-tevrat-operasyonu
Some claim it's fake... reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/ajndny/what_is_this_why_is_there_a_satanic_symbol_on_it/
But ancient hewbrew is very different - and: "Before the appearance of books, Jews read the Pentateuch from the Torah, a scroll made of parchment or animal skins. Torah scrolls are still read in synagogues, but because they do not contain vowels readers sometimes consult Pentateuch collections such as the one on display at the Museum of the Bible for the authoritative pronunciation." - https://religionnews.com/2019/11/07/museum-of-the-bible-displays-medieval-hebrew-pentateuch/
Other Turkish news sites also wrote about it:

star.com.tr/yerel-haberler/altin-varakli-zumrut-yakut-suslemeli-2-tevrat-ele-gecirildi-3592836/
Next step: Find someone who knows ancient hebrew and ask them to translate.
"Bilecik Museum Directorate officials" were going to date it. I'll dig on. Their "website" https://bilecik.ktb.gov.tr/TR-69098/bilecik-muzesi-mudurlugu.html
NOTE: Another "ancient bible" (1200 years old) was found in a similar way in February 2019 - it's easy to get confused.
