You don't have to wait that long, Billy. Some people are already claiming it as a new religion, claiming to be part of that supposed lineage. I have met a family saying just that.
And what about L Ron Hubbard or Zechariah Sitchin? The both have hordes of followers decrying their science fiction as fact.
The TANAKH predates Rome and that's half the Bible.
Tradition says the original Roman kingdom (pre-dating the Roman Republic and Roman Empire) occurred around 735 B.C.E.
The TANAKH or Masoretic text as we know it can be traced to 200 B.C.E. The Great Assembly officially set the order of the books making up TANAKH in 450 B.C.E. and only about 6 characters (consonants) have been changed since then.
The christian BIBLE, however, changes with every printing.

PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
