1,200yo Bible found as cops BUST smugglers in Turkey (VIDEO)

An ancient copy of the early Bible, believed to be some 1,200 years old, has been seized during an anti-smuggling raid in Turkey. The dramatic bust was caught on video.

Local police in Kayapinar, southern Turkey received a tip-off that smugglers were looking to sell the leather-bound, gold-flaked artifact in the area. Footage from the scene captures the moment police officers burst in and surprised the suspects right in the middle of an attempted sale.

Three suspects were caught in the raid and an additional three have been arrested as part of the wider police investigation.

Though it remains unclear whether the 34-page manuscript was smuggled from Syria, Turkey has become a hotspot for smuggled antiques pillaged from the war-torn country.

WOuld be a good experiment to have it translated to see how much was missing or altered during that time.
