Yeah? Haven't seen that one. But the 'busters are known for declaring things busted just because they couldn't recreate it. But yes, it does seem far-fetched. Still, fun to speculate.

BTW, the decoding process would likely not be to spin the pot on a turntable and stick a phono needle on it! It would be to look for and analyze variations in the depth of tool-marks on the pot. Very, very tiny variations. And you'd have to be very, very lucky!

I do agree that they often 'bust' things because it doesn't work for them, when the myth itself may represent a 1 in a million or 1 in a billion chance. It would be like them testing the lottery and saying it is busted because in 10 tries they never got more then 2 of the 6 numbers.

and why would it matter the Greek when the Hebrew/Aramaic is more important as it is the source language.

The source language? I thought most (all?) of the NT was written in Greek.

uhhh The source of the people that did most of the writing and that of the Bible is Hebrew and Aramaic. Greek means little. Matthew was most likely originaly in Hebrew. The mind of Paul is that of a Hebrew and thus based upon OT scripture. Thus the source language will always be Hebrew with some Aramaic.

And, by the time of Jesus and the early church the apostles and preachers were using the Septuagint or LXX or Greek OT.
