Yes, it is amazing when a 100-year old manuscript is passed off as over 1500 years!
And, wow, impressive.
The Brits invested two whole hours in authenticity testing by one gentleman!

On View at Museum.
INSPECTED BY 3500 PEOPLE.
LONDON, Dec. 27. 1933
The Codex Sinalticus, within a red and gold enamelled box, wrapped in cotton wool and brown paper, arrived at the British Museum this morning.
Dr. Bell, Keeper of Manuscripts, spent two hours testing its authenticity, after which it
was installed in the entrance hall, where a queue speedily formed. About 3500 people inspected the manuscript, 80 per cent, of them placing a contribution, sometimes a Treasury note, in the box alongside.
Visitors generally were amazed at the wonderful state of its preservation and the clearness of the script.
