The Great Isaiah Scroll is a remarkable manuscript that has been kept in a secure vault at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem for many years. It's the oldest complete biblical text in the world and has been on display for the first time in over 50 years in a specially created climate-controlled room.
The scroll's story is about the prophet Isaiah and his message of peace and healing. It's an important reminder that we should work towards a world where nations don't fight each other. The scroll's message is still relevant today, and its story is interwoven with the history of war.
Our journey took us to the Dead Sea, where the scroll was first discovered, to meet archaeologist Dr. Oren Goodfelt, an expert in the ancient Jewish sect who wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls. He took us to the caves where they were hidden in clay vases for thousands of years.
