The Newark Holy Stones are a series of fraudulent artifacts inscribed with Hebrew lettering that were claimed to have been found in Licking County, Ohio beginning in 1860. After scientific review, they all have been revealed to be forgeries or hoaxes. In recent years, some of these objects have featured prominently in various revivals of pseudoscientific claims. The authors here outline the circumstances of their discovery, reasons for asserting their fraudulent nature, and suggest some of the agendas that have led to a renewal of their consideration today.
