Dead Sea scroll fragments found in desert cave
Archeologiats from Israel have found two dozen Dead Sea scroll fragments from a cave in Judean Desert. It's the first discovery of biblical text in 60 years. During excavations of the Cave of Horror in 60s, 40 skeletons were found. It placed the cave on precarious position, which caused recently to scour it and in result 20 bits of parchment were discovered. It's believed that Jewish rebels were hiding in the canyon about 40km south of Jerusalem in the second century to escape a Roman advance. The fragments of Bible, which had God's name in Hebrew, could be hidden there.
I think that's a really nice piece of news. It reminds us that there's still many things that we haven't found which could be important in history of the world.
