This is a great story . It's amazing to think that we can read these millenia old words that even aren't visible to the eye. In fairness, science rocks!!

That is fantastic. It's a huge collection.. imagine the possibilities. I hopw they have that museum fireproofed. People are gonna get very antsy if there's Bible writings that might change modern understanding of Christianity.

I'm personally hoping to see the line : "And there ends the fictional tale of the fantastical journey of Jesus".
