RE: The Dead Sea Scrolls are still showing us new things, even after half a Century of study!
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.
:)>Oh! that makes sense.
They used the best they had! Our US Constitution is on vellum (sometimes called parchment) calf skin. So it was the best until recently....
