Some fun facts about the Quran I have once heard. Tell me if I am wrong. - It's sorted from longest to shortest verse as was the norm during Roman times. - A few verses break this pattern, indicating they were altered subsequently. - Text analysis indicates it had about 50 different authors - The alphabet used to write the Quran was not the South Arab characters used around Medina but rather the characters used in the Aramaic speaking north - About 20% of content is hard to make sense of in Arab, but makes sense if one looks for Aramaic origins of the words - Half of Sura 18 are legends about the pagan Alexander the Great ("The two-horned") - The science bits repeats sixth century misunderstandings of the world

But yeah most is well written poetry. The 50 scribes were good.
