Breaks one's heart to think of what might have been in the Alexandria Library in its time.

Bravo to PBS America. It's not often that a documentary of this caliber is made, and I personally found it to be an authentic and absolutely outstanding in-depth look at Dead Sea Scroll's history!

Terrific, fantastically interesting, PBS please make more similar videos! Your videos are so much more interesting than the usual "stuff" on YouTube.

[Bjowolf]

Remember way back when "History" Channel, "Discovery" Channel, National Geographic and BBC Horizon ( / Nova ) used to have really interesting history and science documentaries of this caliber instead of the BEEEP hopeless, superficial, silly and dumbed down junk, that they are feeding us these days for some mysterious reasons? 🙄

[leechrec]

It's incredible that what we have in the Bible today existed almost exactly, thousands of years ago. The preservation of the teachings and writings is remarkable.
