Me too, Glock. I'd think it would help in confirming the history of the era if nothing else.

Just a caution, though. My last tour in Germany I was able to see a display of the Dead Sea Scrolls that was in Cologne in the museum next to the Cathedral. One thing I remembered was that those manuscripts, discovered in the late 1940's, were still being painstakingly separated page by page. Very much of it -- maybe most of it -- still awaited preparation, preservation, and translation.

It can be a slow, slow process.

Your right, alot of people don't realize the precision and ingenuity that is put into the preparation of these special old documents.
