This idea was brought up on an episode of CSI a few seasons ago and of course was used to capture a bit of incriminating evidence during the investigation.
However, the Mythbusters more or less busted the idea when they utterly failed to record anything on a clay pot under optimal conditions and using good equipment (other then the clay pot itself).
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.
I am concerned about the name sounding the same from one language to another. EB has exhorted me to use the name preserved in the Greek language. I have read much about the name in Hebrew/Aramaic. I have began to look into the Greek name some a while back.
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.

I see, thanks.
