There are several references to an “ancient” book called the Kolbrin Bible. It’s supposedly composed of about 12 manuscripts and was written starting around 1500BC by Egyptian scholars and finished sometime during the 12 -14th centuries by the Keltic monks. If, and I stress \*\*_if_ \*\*the time line were valid then the information contained in it is at least fascinating and at most one of the most important books ever written. The earliest historical reference that I can find appears in the late 19th century when it was “rescued” from a monastery fire somewhere in Briton. Is anyone familiar with the book and is there any credible evidence of its authenticity? chappy ---

Of course there’s no credible evidence. Whether any evidence worthy of being called evidence exists at all is what you should be asking. Take a look at the [website](http://kolbrin.com/index.shtml). > [@](#): > > Millennia ago, Egyptian and Celtic authors recorded prophetic warnings for the future and their harbinger signs are now converging on 2012. These predications are contained in The Kolbrin Bible, a secular wisdom text studied in the days of Jesus and lovingly preserved by generations of Celtic mystics in Great Britain. > > Nearly as big as the King James Bible, this 3600-year old text warns of an imminent, Armageddon-like conflict with radical Islam, but this is not the greatest threat. > > The authors of The Kolbrin Bible predict an end to life as we know it, by a celestial event. It will be the return of a massive space object, in a long elliptical orbit around our sun. Known to the Egyptians and Hebrews as the “Destroyer,” the Celts later called it the “Frightener." … > > The Destroyer is also known today as Wormwood, Nibiru, Planet X and Nemesis. There are also troubling prophetic correlations to the future predictions of Mother Shipton’s “Fiery Dragon” and the “Red Comet” warning of the Mayan Calendar 2012. While these future predictions are uncertain at best, is it possible for us to know about the Destroyer’s previous flybys with a great degree of certainty. Complete and utter hooey. They want your money because they think you’re an idiot. The [Catholic Answers Forum](http://forums.catholic.com/showthread.php?t=231146) has some intelligent commentary on the historic improbability of this as a genuine document. Of course, no one has ever seen the supposed originals, which by itself obviates any chance of this being real. Also check out Phil Plait’s [Planet X](http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/misc/planetx/) page. The only fascinating thing about this is what is tells us about the gullibility of the public in regards to the 2012 hoax. ---

It looks like it was written by a guy named Glenn Kimbell, who has some kind of unique ideas about Jesus. It’s pretty much crap, combining things like British Israelism with Planet X/Nibiru stuff.
