Dead Sea Scrolls

Filed under: General — September 2, 2010 @ 3:27 pm

We went to the Science Museum and saw the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit, fragments from six or seven different texts, plus a lot of stuff to explain the historical context.

What came across differently from the pictures of the scrolls is how tiny most of the writing is. I’d have a hard time writing that small and that well with a modern pen. To retard further light damage, the fragments were displayed under a couple of layers of glass and very minimal lighting.
