A 1,000-year-old Bible has been
uncovered during a police operation in the
city of Tokat, Turkey. The Bible is estimated to be 1000 years old.

A millenium-old book was confiscated
along with jewellery and coins after the
smugglers were caught red-handed. Three
men were arrested after they tried to
sell the priceless historical artifacts to
undercover officers.

The Bible is written in the old Assyriac
language, it only has 51 pages or 102
pages left and its cover is seriously damaged. However, pictures made of gold leafs with religious pictures inside the sacred book are still intact. According to experts, the Bible is estimated to be
1000 years old.

The criminals were harbouring historic
artefacts with the intention to sell them
The Bible, 53 coins, two arrowheads and
two parts of different rings were sent to a
local museum.Theologians now hope the
relic will offer valuable insights into the
way Christianity has developed in the past
century.

Tokat has emerged in recent years as a
centre of smuggling activities in rare
artefacts, a reputation that was cemented
last year when ‘Orphan Man, Standing,’ an
authentic oil painting by Vincent Van Gogh,
was found in the boot of a vehicle owned by
a suspected artifact smuggler.
