@bi4smooth That's a side debate in theology but my main point is:
Scientific controversy continues to rage.
You can still dispute what this thing is...But...it needs further explanation & study.
Again - feel free to argue what you think it is
dispute WHO it is all you want - but explain [archaeologically] how [the artifact] got there, at some point.
No medieval forger would think, "Oh I'd better use blood from real torture victim because in 21st century, chemistry science might get good enough to know."
Argue who it is - but, if forgery, explain how. Or if real, explain how. Point is: it's inexplicable. Even if you say "technology did it" - OK - whose technology?
So I'm talking archaeology. Artifact exists. It's wildly anomalous, no one can explain it after centuries of study.
I could put thread in a "Science" section but I did not see one.
& artifact has a religious explanation which right now is weirdly as strong as any, or stronger..... so I put thread here.
The point, again, is: it needs explanation. $1M prize money, awaits.
