It's amazing how many Christian bible scholars get duped by obvious forgeries. As mentioned in the article the "Museum of the Bible" bought a lot of fakes, some of them quite crude. And of course the Ohio Stones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newark_Holy_Stones which to a Modern Hebrew speaker are clearly based on a very modern script.
