THE “HIEROSOLYMA
HOAX”
FIRST, WE WANT
TO MAKE IT CLEAR TO EVERYONE THAT THE HOAX WAS PERPETRATED BY A GROUP OF PRO ALEXANDRIAN ZEALOTS.
Second, it was the investigation,
study, and research of the L. F. Nexus and of all of the other
organizations and institutions that participated in the Hierosolyma
Project that exposed this hoax.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CHICAGO-JERUSALEM ARCHAEOLOGICAL INSTITUTE
WAS NOT A PARTICIPANT IN THE HOAX.
Rather, their organization was infiltrated by PRO Alexandrian hoaxers,
who manipulated facts and artifacts to produce the hoax. The goal of the hoaxers was the discrediting
of CJAI and certain PRO Textus Receptus/Byzantine
Majority supporters by making it appear that CJAI and the PRO TR/BM supporters
were responsible for the hoax.
The Hierosolyma Manuscripts hoax was
exposed by the joint effort of all of the organizations and institutions that
participated in the “Hierosolyma Project,” including papyrologists
from the Chicago
Paleography Institute, who were brought in especially for the purpose of
providing “deep authentication” of the manuscripts. We are maintaining the “Hierosolyma Manuscript Collection”
web page on our website as an historical record of the work that preceded the
revelation of the “Hierosolyma Hoax.”
There is a header at the top that reads “WE UNCOVERED THE HIEROSOLYMA
HOAX.” We will now provide some details
about how the hoax was detected.
THE DETECTION OF THE HOAX
The first evidence of the hoax came from HXi created at the L.
F. Nexus from several of the manuscripts.
The Alpha
Destiny HXi did not match with those for the Textus Receptus/Scrivener/RCGNT (Reconstructed Corroborated
Greek New Testament) text. This
satisfied us that the papyri were a hoax but, since our advanced techniques and
our unique discoveries are not yet common knowledge in the paleographical
scientific/scholastic community, we needed conventional confirmation. This came through a chemical analysis of the
papyri. Chemical tests revealed that,
while the papyri were indeed ancient…they had been BLEACHED WITH 20TH
CENTURY BLEACHING AGENTS. There
were microscopic residues of bleaching agents THAT HAVE ONLY BEEN IN EXISTENCE
SINCE 1930. These particular bleaching
agents are created with modern, complex chemical industrial processes that were
not in existence before 1900.
