The Newark Holy Stones - Episode 7

We interview two authorities on the Newark Holy Stones, Brad Lepper and Jeff Gill. We go over the discovery of the stones, how they fit into the larger culture of faked artifacts of the Victorian era, and discuss how Brad and Jeff went about debunking these rather fascinating stones.
