Seeing the scrolls
The Denver museum featured 2,000-year-old parchments and scraps of parchments found in Israel’s caves above the Dead Sea between 1947 and 1956. Following their discovery, historians in the 1950s pieced the scraps back together using cellophane tape. Today, they are housed in environmentally controlled cases through which they can be viewed. An ancient pot is at the center.
