Mysterious Dead Sea Scroll deciphered in Israel
22 January 2018
One of the last remaining obscure parts of the Dead Sea Scrolls has been deciphered by researchers in Israel.
Sixty tiny fragments were pieced together over a period of a year, identifying the name of a festival marking the changes between seasons.
It also revealed a second scribe corrected mistakes made by the author.
The 900 scrolls, written by an ancient Jewish sect, have been a source of fascination since the first were discovered in a cave in Qumran in 1947.
The collection is considered the oldest copy of the Bible ever found, dating to at least the 4th Century BC.
