Earliest known stone version of Ten Commandments up for auction

[Daedius]

If I could I'd buy it, and post a video onto YouTube of me smashing it. That'd be my "public display" of it then...

Well in this article, it is mentioned that it wasnt in fact sold by the country, instead it was picked up by an archeologist, hence it most likely being stolen, considering the aforementioned.

It's always a possibility. I have heard of some countries permitting archaeologists to keep what they find in their digs, so who knows. If I were the buyer, I'd make damn sure it wasn't black market before putting money down, that's for sure.

Looking back at how many lives were terminated and enslaved by the followup to this stone, I'd say shattering them would make for a great symbolic action.

Yeah, I guess we should shatter anything of scientific significance also.

[Garnier Fructis]

If you had actually read the post: the auction has a stipulation that the buyer must display it in public.

Kinda wondering who sells this kind of thing, arnt most relics automatically owned by the country that it is found in meaning this should belong to the state of palestine?

I did read it. The difference between what the seller wants and what I wrote is the 'museum' part.

Is Genghis Khan still alive and interfering with people's lives? If so, yes, let's destroy Khan's ressurrected mummy.

So the fact that it's ancient history with no bearing on contemporary society makes it worth preserving, while it still having a bearing makes it worth destroying?


What in the actual fuck?


I get it, you're trying to be an edgelord, but you seem to be letting your edginess make you look like an idiot.

[Raptor With a Saber]

Best i can do is $5, Its not well preserved and looks like shit. Might make a good paper weight or table top.

What's worse, me expressing my opinion or you parroting one of the current hip buzzword?

I hate religion, I have my own reasons for that. So I think everything that has to do with current (abrahamic) religions irrelevant, worthless and unimportant. Deal with it.

On the contrary, I love ancient Egypt's history and mythology, because I didn't have to live with it and all its darker sides, I can simply enjoy the beautiful site of it from an outsider point of view as someone born millenia late to ever have had any contant with it.

It seems to match your edgelord opinion quite well, which is why I use it.

[Kapadons]

This shit is fake. Not even written in English. Don't waste your money.

Then you won't mind if I hereby start refering to you as butthurt kid, right?

Not even a first edition, it's clearly a reprint.


Or a rechisel.

A true dead giveway is that its not in Papyrus font as well.

I'd pay good money for a tablet written in comic sans.

[Putin-Chan]

I'd be a cunt and 'lose' it after buying it anonymously, wait until the price jacks up massively and sell it.

[Guyv3r]

Paah, i would buy it just to shatter it. Period

^This. Gotta love those christian tears.

Shattering historical artifacts just to spite people is a very mature thing to do. *nods*

It's not to be mature. Something has to be done about this plague of people believing a magical bearded man in the sky is there for them.. all they have to do is pray and not sin. lol

And how would destroying historic artifacts convert those religious people? It would make them hate you, and you'd look like an idiot to anyone else who happens to value historical things.

And that will show those people who do not agree with you!

I wouldn't mind if the tablets were saved in a museum, in a show of old artifacts from a religion practiced by the primitive human beings on our planet centuries ago.

But we are in the 21st century and we still got these people among us... You can't convert 90% of stupid back to a logical path...

Is religion a fact? Is there proof? It's not about agreeing, it's about not being stupid and gulible.

Try again.

Most overpriced hardcover childrens book ever.
