TikTok Replay
The tiktoker shared in a video about the 300-year-old artifact that her grandfather kept in the attic and kept secret for almost 9 decades.
In a video that has already reached over 18 million views, tiktoker Katie M shared the story of an invaluable item her grandfather had secretly kept for almost 9 decades.
In the viral clip, Katie shares that her grandfather waited until he was 88 years old to reveal that he had been keeping a 300-year-old Bible in the attic. The footage shows family members with the huge book, followed by Katie’s grandfather flipping through the antique.
The post astonished many people, and some questioned how the Bible’s age could be known. According to the tiktoker: “The box we found it in said 1747, so that’s the date I was going by, haha.”
However, most people advised the family to take good care of such a valuable and historical item: “Hi, I’m a librarian. Don’t donate it, don’t give it to an institution, don’t sell it without it being properly appraised. I am literally foaming at the mouth over this beauty,” one user wrote.
“The historian in me is begging you to store this in proper conditions,” another user requested.
“PLEASE MAKE A COPY OF THIS AND ARCHIVE IT ON THE INTERNET,” pleaded a third user.
With the interest shown, Katie later shared more details about the book and is now thinking of creating a separate TikTok account to post pages from the Bible.
