The Samekhi Papers
Welcome to the digital archaeology of ancient texts. Here we decode manuscripts, reveal hidden meanings, and challenge 2000 years of Biblical interpretation.
Our latest discoveries include the P47 manuscript analysis that questions the traditional 666 interpretation, the revelation that ψηφίζω means "vote" not "calculate," and the Gothic Christmas connections that change everything we thought we knew about Weihnachten.
This is legitimate Biblical archaeology using modern digital tools to uncover what ancient scribes really wrote.
