Almost 50 years ago, we found a charred scroll by the Dead Sea. We have been unable to open or read it, we have just been able to conserve it and wait. However, the University of Kentucky recently finished a program that allowed them to digitally unfurl nod enhance it so that we could read it. We discovered that the scroll was around 2,000 years old, and that it is identical to parts of the boom of Leviticus from the Torah. I think the author wrote it to show how far technology has come and how old the exact text of the Torah used today may be.

I think it is great that new technology helps us understand the past. Without it, we may have never been able to read this part of the Torah.

ReplyDeleteThe fact that we keep finding things like this proves that there's so much we haven't found, so much still out there to discover about our history.
