As far as I'm aware, there really aren't any firm theories, it's just a completely baffling artifact. Based on dating, it's (probably) not a forgery. It's an incredible amount of effort for the time to be just some person's fancy. There just doesn't seem to be even a theory that fits all the evidence. It's truly bizarre. I love it.

My theory that it was created by Terry Davis in his previous birth.

Either that, or https://xkcd.com/593/

It's a lot of work, but not particularly more work than a scribe would usually do.

People have always been people, we've always been creative and intelligent, and I really think the best explanation is that this is just an odd creative work. We'll never know the exact details.
