From the Brochure
Press Kit:
Widely acknoweldged to be among the greatest
archeological treasures linking us to the ancient Middle East
and to the formative years of Judaism and Christianity,
the scrolls have opened a doorway to an ancient culture and its traditions.
They link us to a period that laid the foundation of western
traditions, beliefs and practices throughout hte past
two millenia.
Among the scrolls, dating from 250 BCE to 68 CE, are 230 biblical
manuscripts representing nearly eery book in the Hebrew Bible.
Significantly, these manuscripts are 1000 years older than any
previously discovered copies of these texts.
There are also numerous apocryphal manuscripts
(texts not included in the biblical canon) that had previously
been know only in translation or not at all."
