Dead Sea Scrolls Exhibit

[Genuine]

My husband and I went to Charlotte, NC today and saw the dead sea scrolls! It was real exciting! They had tons of other artifacts like bowls, pots, combs, lamps, plates, cloth... all kinds of things from the bible time periods. The scrolls were kept in these boxes that were temperature controlled and the lights in the boxes would go off and on so not to fade the scrolls. It was awesome! If you have the opportunity, go see the Dead Sea Scrolls!

I saw the exhibit (assuming it's the same one) in High Point, NC last year. If you haven't read Dr. Craig Lampe's book, The Forbidden Book, I highly recommend it. He is the curator of the travelling "Dead Sea Scrolls to the Bible in America" exhibit. He is also curator of "The Bible Museum" in Arizona. Check out their site: http://greatsite.com

Am I the only one here that thinks of blue haired, red eyed girls and huge Angels destroying cities when "Dead Sea Scrolls" is mentioned?

I assume its the same or a similar exhibit that came through Houston here 2 or 3 years ago, and I saw it then. It was really, really neat. I was impressed.

What dissapointed me, was I went to the Shrine of the Book in Israel, and expected to see an even better version of that, but there was precious little of it there. You have the famous "Isaiah scroll" in the middle of the place, but because it's so valuable they rarely have the real thing displayed, what they have out is basically a color copy of it. I was extremely disapointed.

Sounds very interesting but I doubt that it will ever come to my area.
