The thing is amazing and mysterious by itself. We know the time period where it was created. But how and why? By whom?
Originally posted by twhiteheadThe problem with the official dating was they took a piece from a corner that had been repaired later so showed an erroneous date. They won't be given a second chance I'm sure. The church would not like to have it dated to the year 400 or so....
