Ancient book of wisdom my ass. Why is this Kolbrin Bible only available for a rather hefty price from some organization called the Culdian Trust? Why are the so called 3600 year old texts not freely available to scholars for study? Why does the name James McCanney keep popping up in relation to these texts. Why are there allegations of copyright violation flying around manuscripts that were found in an Abbey in 1184? Outside of James McCanney, who is a first class nut job, there appears to be no scholarship relating to these texts, whose existence seem to stretch back only as far as 1995.

Sorry, but this Kolbrin Bible doesn't even warrant the interest of the Necronomicon, which at least was used as a cool plot device for summoning monsters and stuff.

I apologize for being the mean old skeptic ruining everyone's fun, but if you want ancient wisdom go to the library and get a copy of the Nag Hammadi or the Book of Enoch. Heck, even the Mormons give away their book of "ancient" wisdom.

Bad skeptic, down boy.
