Even if you’re not religious seeing ANY ancient text is amazing.

[samanthagolper]

I got chills, and I’m not even religious. The coincidence that the uncovered phrase says let there be light

[SalvableRuin]

They use numerous wavelengths of light to reveal the writing on the ancient fragment, and it says "Let there be light." Awesome.

This is so interesting and truly amazing, must be really hard restoring these scrolls God bless the team doing such work.

What's most amazing is how insanely accurate the Bible has been through the centuries

[thatswhatshesaid.literally]

The difference between the copies having the word "reflect on" the Sabbath _is_ huge, because it reminds us to carry our experience and attitude of the Sabbath day with us throughout the week, and to remember the Sabbath during every action we take and words we speak throughout the week. Amazing!

I find it amazing I can fluently read and understand the writings on an a 2000 year old ancient Hebrew scroll like the crumbled one in minute 6.
The writing in it btw. Is almost, the very beginning of genesis bible book.
The part with let there be light.
Wow

The most breathtaking and majestic biblical discovery besides the tomb of the site of the people that were waiting for Moses as he sat in Mount Sinai and received God's site to this day still have the writings and pictures of the people as they rebelled and worshipped a golden calf....everything is still there as if it was frozen in truly amazing...even the rock that Moses struck with his lance that produced water....and the rock actually has the split in it where he hit it.

That’s pretty cool how that fragment is “let there be light!” Only discoverable and observable through advancements of light itself!

[JustBecause]

God shows himself so beautifully. I am truly moved by this and His presence.

Glory be to God . For all the science we will ever know is perhaps a mere glimpse of the Lord's infinite grace. Praise the Lord

This is excellent. One important fact is not noted. The Dead Sea Scrolls were written on the parchment shown in the video about 2, 000 years ago. The Hebrew Bible, including Genesis and the Psalms, were composed and first written (on lost documents) about 1, 000 years before that. So, in terms of knowing the original material, the Dead Sea Scrolls, while the most ancient we have, are not an absolute authority. They, themselves, are copies. And when we see a difference between a passage in the Dead Sea Scrolls and another, later source, we do not know which one is the better copy of the original. Did one source add a word, or did another source lose a word? We don't know.

Scientific rock stars. These men and women are fabulous. Please keep up your good work.

[paulpope]

That is insane!!! Absolutely incredible … is there any more to this? Like a series or full episode or something?

[kimyong]

Its so awesome and breath taking to stumble on this youtube video regarding the DSS. History and archealogy is so amazing and fascinating. It broadens and strengthens my faith too.

[cherokeegypsy]

God bless the researchers and all those working in the field of Biblical archaeology. May the LORD יהוה‎ bless our understanding in the revelation of His given divine Word. ✝️🕊☦️✡️🕎

Let there be light as they use light to solve the problem of darkness on paper

[kimritchey]

This brought tears to my eyes. So beautiful “Let there be Light”

[Sehr_Gediegen]
