That lead book of Jesus: Another Easter time hoax

Yes, Easter is coming, and the press trots out their latest news story of how we need to rewrite Christianity.
This year it's a metal book with information of early Christianity, even a picture of Jesus on the cover. The book looks like copper, but some stories say it is bronze or lead...or were there two versions...and it was found somewhere by an unknown Beduoin, or maybe by his father, in Egypt, or maybe it was Jordan.

But GetReligionBlog says the myth is already exploding, and that there is quite a few reasons to believe it's merely another hoax.

Daniel O McClellan's blog quotes Peter Thonemann of Oxford about some of the problems,

first problem: they were found in Egypt, or maybe Jordon.

second problem:"

"The text was incised by someone who did not know the Greek language, since he does not distinguish between the letters lambda and alpha: both are simply represented, in each of the texts, by the shape Λ."

third problem:

"...The text literally means ‘without grief, farewell! Abgar also known as Eision’. This text, in isolation, is meaningless.

However, this text corresponds precisely to line 2 of the Greek text of a bilingual Aramaic/Greek inscription published by J.T. Milik, Syria 35 (1958) 243-6 no.6 (SEG 20, 494), and republished in P.-L. Gatier, Inscriptions grecques et latines de Syrie XXI: Inscriptions de la Jordanie, 2: Region centrale (Paris 1986), no.118....
The longer text from which it derives is a perfectly ordinary tombstone from Madaba in Jordan which happens to have been on display in the Amman museum for the past fifty years or so. The text on your bronze tablet is repeated, in part, in three different places, meaningless in each case....

there is a longer discussion at the blog, much of it technical, if you are interested.
