Dr. Adolfo Roitman, curator of the Dead Sea Scrolls and head of the Shrine of the Book points at the original Isaiah scroll found in Qumaran caves in the Judean Desert and dated around 120 BCE at the Israel Museum on September 26, 2011 in Jerusalem. The Dead Sea scrolls, containing some of the oldest-known surviving biblical texts, are to go online as part of a collaboration between Israeli antiquities authorities and Google. The 3.5 million dollar (2.5 million euro) project by the Israeli Antiquities Authority and the internet giant’s local R&D division aims to use space-age technology to produce the clearest renderings yet of the ancient scrolls and make them available free of charge to the public. Five complete scrolls from the Israel Museum have been digitized for the project at this stage and are accessible online. AFP PHOTO/GALI TIBBON
