The story highlights the remarkable journey of twin sisters Agnes and Margaret Smith, who defied societal norms as Victorian scholars. Despite lacking formal education, they uncovered the earliest known copy of the Gospels in ancient Syriac, the language of Jesus. Venturing into the Middle East during a time of great trepidation, they faced numerous challenges, including harsh living conditions and untrustworthy guides. Their determination and bravery positioned them as unsung heroines in the quest to reveal the Bible's original text.
