What it is
World Religion examines the world's traditions through what survives: the great codices, the Dead Sea Scrolls, undeciphered texts, the history of the canon and its translations, and the archaeology. Every claim is spelled out and graded, evidence first, with no preaching and no debunking.
The site is built as a building rather than a scroll: short rooms you can stand inside, from the scanners racing to photograph the world's manuscripts to the threads that connect traditions. The founder closed active research on this line; the full archive stays public.
How it is graded
The five seals: Proven, Documented, Unproven, Misidentified, Fabricated, and what each one demands. Manuscript and archaeological evidence first; tradition is reported as tradition.
- ProvenA contemporaneous primary record establishes it.
- DocumentedA credible official record exists; interpretation stays open.
- UnprovenTestimony or claim only; nothing corroborating has surfaced.
- MisidentifiedReal, but attached to the wrong thing, date, place, or person.
- FabricatedA proven hoax, forgery, or false claim.
