Dead Sea Scrolls Online - Google Publishes 5 of the Scrolls

[TWTY-Admin]

Looks like they're finally on the way

These are different to the Dead Sea Scrolls Transcriptions you'll see on TWTY. Google obviously has a lot more money than I do, so they can take actual high-quality digital photographs of the scrolls, although their Terms of Use is a bit annoying =/

Anyway, kudos to Google for actually doing what scholars with 60 years and millions of dollar's worth of funding couldn't do - put the Dead Sea Scrolls in the public domain, for everyone to see
