The Israel Antiquities Authority says every piece and parchment of the Dead Sea Scrolls is being digitally reproduced and in a few years will be available online for all to see.  The photographs taken decades ago will also be digitally reproduced, as the scrolls have faded slightly.

I'm curious to see what experts and soon-to-be scholars will find.  I'd sure like to know what was happening at the Temple during that time.

It will be nice to read them online for sure.  So we can decide for ourselves and not depend on the scholars interperation of them.

Yes, I agree that this would be marvelous to view.  I am not sure that I could even put it in words how I feel when I view any type of artifact of Biblical archaeology.  I think that it wonderful that we are able to discover and give proof to the Bible stories because there are many skeptics out there.  To be able to see Bible history right before our eyes is the greatest science discovery that we have made.  It just brings us that much closer to the Lord.
