Dead Sea scrolls going online

Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), the custodian of the scrolls that shed light on the life of Jews and early Christians at the time of Jesus, said on Tuesday it was collaborating with Google’s research and development centre in Israel to upload digitized images of the entire collection.

Very cool. That'll be a great resource for biblical scholars. :cool: (Or anyone else who can read Aramaic, Greek, or Hebrew. ;) )
