RE: The Dead Sea Scrolls are still showing us new things, even after half a Century of study!
I liked this, they are still learning more every day, and it is exciting! There is a lot of information in that article! I am still reading it myself.

good luck with that. when you finish why don't you do another post?
I may, this is good information! They used two different curing methods for the best chance of preservation. It looks like they intended to come back for them, but didn't survive.
:)>So it's probably a good thing that they didn't survive. Yeah it looks like they developed a wonderfully effective salt-based preservation coating!
That worked well, LOL! So we have original texts to compare with modern texts to check accuracy.! Nice....
:)>Yeah and they are a perfect match aren't they? I wonder if they'll be able to figure out their preservation formula?
With the spectrum analysis, they have the formula. We just don't use Vellum anymore....
They are a prefect match, which says a lot!
:)>What's Vellum?
The parchment they were written on, made from animal hide.
