Otharus, I just now had this crazy idea (and that was after my ex came around, and told me a story you would like - she is a native American woman from the Dutch Antiles, an Arawak - about Frisian ancestors. It gets weirder all the time, I tell you).
You want to make a series of YouTube videos about the whole OLB narrative, like you told us.
But why don't you try to contact
Paul Verhoeven, and ask him if he is interested in making a movie about the OLB. Then you tell him about the OLB, give him a link to Sandbach's or Ottema's translation and of course a link to this huge thread. The guy is meticulous, and I will bet he will read this whole thread, even if it takes him a week to complete reading it.
You could ask of course, "Why don't you do it yourself, Rob?", but I have no experience in making videos. YOU have.
And hoax/falsification or not, I think it could turn out into a great movie.
They made movies about the Odyssey, the Ilias, Vikings, "The 13th Warrior", and so on. The text of the OLB could be just as great a script for a movie as any ancient Greek manuscript had to offer.

What I think I know about Verhoeven is that he loves to make movies about controversial books and ideas.
Try it. Your command of English is better than mine.
