Are the Sumerian tablets real?
No. Nearly all scholars agree that there never was an Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible, which means that the tablets, on which the Ten Commandments were written, never existed. The Book of Exodus, which contains the Ten Commandments and the story of the tablets, was written in the middle of the first millennium BCE.
ANSWER: Christians who believe the Bible believe the Ten Commandment Tablets are real. They were placed in the Arc of the Covenant, but since the Arc has disappeared we do not know what happened to the Tablets. But Exodus 20:1-17 gives us the Ten Commandments.
