The fragments are a wonderful symbol of our fragmentary knowledge. It’s like a giant jigsaw puzzle that we puzzle about because we don’t have the original picture. Each new discovery leads to a new discovery in our thinking. Of course there can be duplication as there are duplication in all our written text. It is a rare find that we have such a rare find in our trove of ancient texts and sources.

It would have been nice if more fragments had writing -- not that there may not be advances in this multispectral technology -- and if there were longer sentence fragments on the other five that showed writing, but regardless of that, they've done well.

Maybe other fragments that had writing will be found to have more.

That statement pretty much applies to all of human history prior to the 19th century

I'm just glad that the History Channel wasn't around at the time of the discovery, or they'd A) have named the show "Dead Sea Scrolls - Live" and B) still be working on the excavation, but having nothing to show us so far.

I gave up on the History Channel when I decided it should have been named the Distortion Channel. No wonder people don’t know anything about history, if they get any information from the History Channel. Is it owned, like the Discovery Channel, by those good folks at CNN? *p-TOOIE*
