Book of Lies

The story of Cain and Abel takes up just

sixteen lines of the Bible.

It is arguably history's most famous murder.

But the story is silent about one key detail:

the weapon Cain used to kill his brother.

It's not a rock. Or a sharpened stone.

And to this day, the world's first murder

weapon is still lost to history.
