A 1,000-year-old Bible has been uncovered during a police operation in the city of Tokat, Turkey.
A millenium-old book was confiscated along with jewellery and coins after the smugglers were caught red-handed. Three men were arrested after they tried to sell the priceless historical artifacts to undercover officers.
The Bible is written in the old Assyriac language, it only has 51 pages or 102 pages left and its cover is seriously damaged. However, pictures made of gold leafs with religious pictures inside the sacred book are still intact. According to experts, the Bible is estimated to be 1000 years old.
