Sharing: Strange Oddities from around the world

Sometimes, it becomes VERY APPARENT
that these FAIRY STORIES are propounded
in the the hopes of the swaying the resolve of the readers
to do as they are proposing

How 'gullible' do they believe the rest of us must be
It has only been days since the election results
and already they have 'suggested' that that employment of FOREIGN NURSES, is down by 40,000

I think we can safely throw a ( pinch )
ton of salt, on their calculations

Unsolved Mystery Of The Aleppo Codex And Its Missing Pages: One Of The World’s Most Precious Ancient Books

  The Aleppo Codex Is The World’s Oldest Hebrew Bible
  Written in about 930, the Aleppo Codex has 294 parchment pages, written on both sides. It contains the full manuscript of the Bible.
  
  It is the oldest Hebrew Bible in existence and it considered to be one pf the most ancient books. The codex, also known as the Crown of Aleppo, was written by scribes called Masoretes in Tiberias, Israel. According to tradition, early in the sixth century, a group of sages led by the Ben-Asher family in Tiberias, on the Sea of Galilee, undertook the task of creating a formal and final text.
  
  The Dead Sea Scrolls are a thousand years older than the Aleppo Codex, but the ancient scrolls lack vowels and a discussion of different textual problems and their solutions. The Aleppo Codex features both vowel markings and marginal notations.
  
  The Aleppo Codex was the perfect version of the Bible and intended to be the model for all subsequent copies, but book’s early history was troublesome and the manuscript was nearly lost a long time ago. But somehow, against all odds, the book survived.
  
  For more than a thousand years, the manuscript was preserved in its entirety in important Jewish communities in the Near East: Tiberias, Jerusalem, Egypt, and finally in the city of Aleppo in Syria.

The Gospel of Mary (Magdalene) was found with other manuscripts in some jars in a cave in the Sinai Desert. The shepherd boy who found them brought them home to his family. His mother began to tear out pages to use as kindling for her cooking fire. As a consequence, in the only extant copy pages 1 to 6 and 11 to 14 have gone up in smoke and are likely lost forever. What an immense loss to early Christian history!

The Dead Sea Scrolls are a thousand years older than the Aleppo Codex,
but the ancient scrolls lack vowels and a discussion of different textual problems and their solutions.The Aleppo Codex features both vowel markings and marginal notations.

Because Vowels, Alephs and punctuation
have such an important-part to play, in text and therefore language (itself)
