BATCREEK is a large ASCII text file containing a very interesting
discussion on Usenet of the Bat Creek Stone (from Aug.-Sept. 1993).
What is the Bat Creek Stone? It is an apparently paleo-Hebrew
inscription found by a Smithonian excavator in an undisturbed burial
mound in eastern Tennessee in 1889. How did a paleo (early)-Hebrew
inscription end up on a stone there? Is it genuine or a fraud? Pro and
con views by experts and novices alike. I remember reading an article
in Biblical Archeology Review (BAR) which told about this find. This
expands on it. A GIF picture of the Stone is included.
