Riddle number 5:

An archaeologist finds a coin dated 48 B.C. How did he know it was a fake?

Calendars change 'n stuff. If it were from 48 B.C. it wouldn't be dated as such.

The use of BC and AD for keeping year didn't exist until after 48 BC

Edit Also my explanation is better which is why wersloth posted first

Methinks you're jealous.

BC is before Christ. Christ was not yet born when the coin would have been made and the date would be impossible.

Me thinks this is the right answer.

If you c/p from Google, maybe.

Edit: I apologise, Istalris could you reset my score back to zero, I'll admit to using google

I had this one too D:
here's mine slightly different.
The coin was dated to a BC date however BC is essentially counting backwards and when the coin was minted no one would have counted their years backwards for several obvious reasons.Because the archaeologist found the coin with that inscription and nobody at the time we know today as 48BC would print 48 BC the could which had that inscription could not have been made then.

Cypher I wont reset your score but please don't cheat, other people may actually have fun trying to work it out with their brains.
