[Hebrews 11:6]

Thanks for those links. In describing the discovery of the silver scrolls, I was especially taken with their explanation that it took them three years to unroll them. What painstaking work!

Thanks to both of you for mentioning both the scrolls and the Nash papyrus--although I was born again nearly four decades ago and have always been a diligent Bible student, somehow they had escaped my attention and I was completely ignorant of them. Ignorant no more, thanks to you both!

I must say this is very, very cool technology.

Once again, the best approach to a damaged artifact that can't be researched without further damages is leave it alone until the technology comes along to allow it to be researched.
