Exactly my thought.
Me three
Which tells me it's fake. They're in a random kitchen (background noises). It's way too short to be a Torah (how many pages are in your Bible's Old Testament?) The pages on a book that old would be way too brittle to handle that roughly and would basically crumble in to dust. Even the dead Sea scrolls can't be unrolled— they were read by forensically scanning them with x-rays at different depths and reconstructing the pages with machine learning. This book is not a Torah, nor 1500 years old. Some random jewish mysticism book they probably pass around at synagogue, sure— maybe, if it isn't outright fake.
Including a toilet lid dropping.
Came here to say that too. Any relic that old needs to be handled with gloves and a lot gentler than that baboon does.
We watched an antique show this weekend and an old lady brought a bible from the 15th century. The expert was handling it just like this to the womans shock. He said it was no problem since the paper in old books was far better and thicker than modern books.
After valuation she quickly took the bible from him and put it in her bag, not willing to let him manhandle it any further. Quite comical, but I’m sure he knows his stuff.
I was thinking about that too!
Fake and gay. Nobody is handling a 1500 year old book like that.
Looks brand new. And he's touching it with bare fingers while it lies just on the table there with no special protection.
I feel that this cannot be 1500 years old, but may be a condensed version/ copy/clone of a part of the original.
It has lots of illustrations of animals, creatures and symbology with very minimal words. I would think the original would be full of scripture and be much, much thicker. But what do I know?
Does anyone here speak Hebrew and can translate?
Torah was always a scroll, and even is today.
This is no Torah.
It could be a Kabbalah book. The cover has the three fingered, two thumbed hand on it.
The letters are too blurry to make out.
As has been noted, this thing is not 1500 years old.

Were books bound like that 1500 years ago? I thought scrolls were the dominant form until about 400 years ago but it's not something I've researched heavily.
Is this even real?
No
I just noticed who the OP is. Dude has a penchant for sharing fake stuff.
There are more on here since Trump won, that’s for sure.
Whenever we're told to watch to the end there's never anything worth watching to the end. It hold the same weight as share to everyone you know. Useless.
