I always have an interest in things like this. Not only does it increase our knowledge and
understanding of what our ancestors did, it also shows us that technology may change
but people stay pretty much the same.
from article:
'Fragments of a Biblical scroll and other relics have been found in what officials call an "historic discovery" in desert caves in Israel.
The dozens of pieces of parchment were written in Greek, with just the name of God appearing in Hebrew.
The scroll is believed to have belonged to Jewish rebels who fled to the hills following a failed revolt against Roman rule in the 2nd Century.
They were found during an operation to prevent caves in the area being looted.'
