CAMBRIDGE, MA (Worthy Satire) – In a miraculous mix-up of historical proportions, Harvard Law School revealed it accidentally purchased a $27 copy of the Magna Carta from an online auction, only to discover it was an original 1215 parchment—possibly carried by Crusaders on pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
“It was wedged between a stack of used LSAT prep books and a King James Bible with someone’s sermon notes in it,” said Harvard archivist Gloria Decree. “At first we thought it was a novelty replica. But when we unrolled it, we saw faint Latin scribbles and what appeared to be the outline of a Templar cross.”
Scholars now believe the document was once used as legal reading material during long sea voyages by knights who believed in both sword and scripture. “It’s likely this Magna Carta made the journey to Jerusalem tucked beneath a chainmail tunic,” said one enthusiastic medieval historian. “Honestly, it reads like Deuteronomy with footnotes.”
Harvard has since given the find a spiritual spin, with a newly planned exhibit titled: “Law and the Lord: How the Magna Carta Paved the Way for Christ-Centered Constitutions.”
The law school’s chaplain offered a closing reflection: “Is it a coincidence that Harvard stumbled across a foundational document of liberty in a time of moral confusion? Or is the Lord reminding us that even dusty scrolls bought on clearance still carry eternal truths?”
