Five of the important Dead Sea Scrolls now available on the Internet

To see the Dead Sea Scrolls, you’ll need a plane ticket to Jerusalem, multiple keys to a vault, a magnetic card, and a secret code. Or you can just click here.

Five of the more significant scrolls have been put on online through a partnership between Israel’s national museum and Google.

You can even zoom in and read English translations of specific verses. The scrolls, written more than 2,000 years ago, help us understand where monotheistic traditions in the West came from.

    Vai Ionute, esti “botanist” sau ce? Tu chiar crezi ca un scroll de mii de ani, chiar daca scris pe piele, ar fi aratat atat de bine? Neingelbenit la colturi si taiat simetric??? Cand eram mica fabricam documente vechi stii, ardeam foile de hartie pe margine si de picuram cu ceara. :D

    Te asigur ca niciodata ADEVARUL nu va fi dezvaluit maselor. NICIODATA!

    Pai sunt scanate sau fotografiate si ajustate sa arate cat mai bine pentru a fi citite.
