Rare ancient scroll found in Israel Cave of Horror - BBC News

Fragments of a Biblical scroll and other relics have been found in what officials call an "historic discovery" in desert caves in Israel.

The dozens of pieces of parchment were written in Greek, with just the name of God appearing in Hebrew.

The scroll is believed to have belonged to Jewish rebels who fled to the hills following a failed revolt against Roman rule in the 2nd Century.

They were found during an operation to prevent caves in the area being looted.

Caves generally aren’t that nice, I would imagine a “cave of horror” wouldn’t be that pleasant at all.

I'm not even a big religious guy but I'm a big history buff and this is cool

[DissociatedWomenIncorporated]

Uncovering ancient scrolls from a "cave of horror" _reeeeally_ doesn't sound like a good idea 😂

ALSO, they found many coins, an ancient skeleton of a young girl, and an ancient basket.

Look at the location of that cage! Could you imagine climbing down to that with just rope no modern equipment! AMAZING AMAZING!!

The scroll says ''Hope that you get this in time. Watch out for 2020''

Yes certainly astounding, and so tiny scroll's, I must give full hearted support to the archeologists who carried out such difficult task, even during Coronavirus, and results are thoroughly exciting.

[SikanderAli]

imagine if the scroll had "do not come into the cave" written on it... then a mummy just arises while the caves starts to crumble and they unleash a new threat to humanity... I mean it would certainly make covid more interesting...

Jesus said :Heaven and earth will pass away but my words will never pass away ) Matthew 24:35

Jesus love you, he died on the cross for you, accept him as your lord and savior he can change everything. For God so loved the world that he gave his only son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life" (Jn 3:16"

But you must repent too. From that time Jesus went about preaching and saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin, for the kingdom of heaven is near. (Matthew 4:17)*

‘Cave of horror’ really? Is this a sci-fi monster movie?

[geotom]

Roughly translated it reads "I am a Nigerian prince and I want to give you ten million in gold"

What’s even rarer is one page of the Daily Mail that tells the whole truth..

[Subzero-hhix]

The verse they found in the manuscript is Nehum 1:5-6,
"The mountains quake before him and the hills melt away. The earth trembles at his presence, the world and all who live in it. Who can withstand his indignation? Who can endure his fierce anger? His wrath is poured out like fire; the rocks are shattered before him."

The timing couldn't be more right, amidst record number of dormant volcanoes becoming active and increasing number of earthquakes.

I imagine in 2, 000 years this is how they react over finding an old Harry Potter book

Thats not scroll, that is a piece, a tiny piece of paper

[countofdownable]

Translated into English one part reads "I'd had a lovely supper, and all I said to my wife was, 'That piece of halibut was good enough for Jehovah.'"

Stops caves from being looted.
Man : loots the cave

This is absolutely wonderful stuff. Great work to all the archaeologists involved. It will be amazing to see what they’ll eventually discover when the work is done.
