Yesterday afternoon, word came out that Hobby Lobby is buying the old St. Gregory's University campus. I guess they need a place to house all their fake artifacts!
In case you missed it, the Hobby Lobby family quietly acknowledged this week that their $500-million hobby – The Museum of the Bible – has been displaying fake Dead Sea Scrolls and presenting them as real. I bet God got a good laugh out if it.
Via KOCO:
The Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., says five of its most valuable artifacts — once thought to be part of the historic Dead Sea Scrolls — are fake and will not be displayed anymore.
German-based scholars tested the fragments and found that five of the scrolls "show characteristics inconsistent with ancient origin and therefore will no longer be displayed at the museum."
That's nice. The family that's made millions and millions and millions selling cheap, knockoff goods got swindled for millions and millions and millions by counterfeiters selling cheap knockoff goods.
