Does the use of a caret (for mistakenly omitted 2nd line) and a periods at
the ends of a sentences by the forger of the Los Lunas Inscription really
demand a "credible study?" The use of Greek scripts of a later date than the
palaeo-Hebrew? The misspellings? The confusion between kof/qof?  The use of
alef as a vowel?  The only thing that surprises me are ANY credible
epigraphers/palaeographers who claim this inscription as genuine.
