Dead Sea Scrolls Set for Posting Online
The scrolls are on display at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, where the digital photography is taking place. The photographs will include images of what the scrolls look like today, as well as scans of older infrared photographs taken back in the 1950s. Naturally, you can't just run them through any 'ol scanner, so it's going to take another one to two years before the photographing is completed, and then some months or years after that before everything shows up online.
What happens after that is anyone's guess, but there's still considerable debate about the nature and intended order of the scrolls, and we're guessing there are plenty of folks online who can't wait to try to figure it all out for themselves. [Source: The New York Times]

This field never ceases to generate controversy. Museum exhibits have been abusively slanted towards an increasingly disputed theory, and plagiarism charges have surfaced against Lawrence Schiffman, author of the popular "Reclaiming the Dead Sea Scrolls." See
