NEWS: Dead Sea Scrolls to be Digitalized for Online Viewing!


This is probably the one of the most exciting news I've heard in a while! I read in an online article that Google will be digitalizing the Dead Sea Scrolls in their entirety. In a few months, parts will be able to be viewed online, and completed within five years. They are to photographed using multi-spectral imaging technology (developed by NASA).

The coolest part is that they "plan to include transcriptions, translations and a bibliography with the images so you won't have to be an expert, or even able to read Aramaic in order to decipher the scrolls."
