From the Takud-Bar Dossier
From the diary of S. J. Robin (dated 1912)
The large photographs discovered on the southern slopes of Takud-Bar in the course of road construction occasioned some consternation in scientific circles. Some academics suspected them of being some common hoax. The Lyon University professor of orientalism Dr. Bernard Roux held the finds to be vulgar machination and urged every serious colleague to employ thorough scientific investigation.
Others (among others Schulteis and Garbieau) could only able to handle the depictions on the stone slabs as the visual manifestation of some higher will. Maybe this is why they attempted to make a connection between certain of the photos and biblical characters and stories. This is how there came to be mention of "some depictions of prophets" and the materialisation of the Book of Judges, primarily in the popular press. Some physicists risked making the assumption according to which our world occasionally behaved like a gigantic camera obscura.
As to the creation of the stone slabs, maybe most pertinently the musings of Kowalski-Segner enlighten us, which he muttered to those pestering him in his Wolfenbüttel home:
Only a few excerpts from letters betray the later fate of the slabs:
O. Günsberger's letter to Vincenza from 1920
Rev. Archer's letter from 1952
