history comes alive

Neat neat neat: they're going to be putting the Dead Sea Scrolls online.

    Over the next two years, the Israel Antiquities Authority will digitally photograph and scan every bit of crumbling parchment and papyrus that makes up the scrolls, which include the oldest written record of the Bible's Old Testament.

    The images eventually will be posted on the Internet for anyone to see.


Way to go! Make history accessible to all. :)
