re: Ancient text found in someone’s barn or attic in 1800s.. anyone familiar with this?

Yeah. I've gone thru those and a bunch of other videos as well as other resources on the book. It's a very interesting bit of insight into history that isn't taught in schools.

Not very far at all. I watched a couple youtube videos and then looked up a pdf of it and read a few pages. Don’t have anything to do this weekend so I’m going to dive into it

Mind sharing some of what you have read?

You had my curiosity, now you have my attention. Hahaha

oera Linda is a hoax.
how do I know? 1. its written in old Frisian. that's what was spoken in coastal Holland and Germany. they still do speak Frisian only way less dutch area and only German islands 2. book has information pertaining to more than 2300 bce.

I do languages as a hobby.
over time languages change.

and in way less time than 2000 years. now its true that in remote regions a language can be steady for 100s but in 1000 the Norse come. genghis khan.
there used to be Livonian speakers on the southern peninsula of Latvia. when Russia took over welcome to ussr we speak Russian. hmm you are fishing villages. you could sneak a Latvian to Sweden. hmm. you must move to cities. no more Livonian speakers now.
here's the trick now.
we have Frisian text from the 8th century. its runes.
its not in Latin alphabet.
how is there a book written in 12th or 14th century Frisian supposed to come from 2300 bce. the oldest runic incription in northern Europe is first century.
plus languages change.
that is all without looking at it. the first non British to attend Oxford in the 1200s was from the Frisian part of now Netherlands . another Germanic. a lot of shared vocabulary. consider Danelaw was most of England 900 AD. its not like the current English existed then. a fun story.
in the danelaw era a Norse man was murdered by an Anglo Saxon. why? his defense. the Anglo Saxon women like the Norse. the Norse he said take a bath Saturday and comb their hair. we got 200 words in current English from the Norse. and baths on date night. Norwegian and Danish kings fought over England. an Icelandic saga says LONDON IS THE BEST CITY IN SCANDINAVIA.
