The 2,000-year-old Dead Sea Scrolls, some of the oldest, historically richest and most fragile religious texts in the world, are to be made available to more than a billion internet users thanks to a plan to put digitised images of the manuscripts online from next year
(visit the link for the full news article)
The project will grant free access to the 2,000-year-old text - considered one of the greatest archaeological finds of the last century - by uploading high-resolution images. The first photographs are slated to be online within months.
The scrolls will be available in both original languages and in translation.

This is something I was worried about. The translations being mis-interpreted and causing havoc. I also hate the fact that the government can censor and suppress the information that is being shared.
I read that they do have scholars on board, so I think that translations they have trouble with will go through some extent of knowledge before being made official. I'm not sure when to expect these scrolls to be online, but I'm sure it will be a few years away yet.Brady

1. the vision of knowledge, this is only a theory but Could it not be implying the emergence of modern technology?
2. In regards to ET's and the bible, there are some references to ET's indirectly and direclty in the bible, and not to bring up the quaran ( I am christian btw) but it has some interesting facts about there being 7 other kingdoms. I"ve always considered the theory that those 7 other kingdoms being species amongst our dimensions.What are your thoughts?
