We were there a couple weeks ago and saw that, we'll be checking it out, as we are season pass holders.

Dr. John Bergsma has some interesting scholarly talks on the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Essene community -- particularly as concerns the correlation with the early Church. They're on YouTube.

If you find those interesting, he has over 20 hours available on cd/mp3:

I saw the scrolls in the museum in Israel and then went down to Qumran to see where they were found. Pretty neat stuff.

Israeli Sighting

I saw this same UFO in Little Rock, Arkansas. I saw it take off from Southern Colorado too. A few days later, cattle were found mutilated. I wonder if the scrolls have any data on this ?
Link below is UFO sighting over Dome of the Rock Temple...

I went to Qumran in 1986. On our return the exhibit was in NYC and we saw it during our two day layover.

CBS4 news had a pre-opening peek this morning.
Most everything was covered with black cloth to prevent the camera lights from damaging the 2,000 year old scrolls.
When the display is open to the public, they will rotate the remnants to minimize exposure to light, so the recommendation is to visit twice.
Then, the newscaster announced that all the member tickets were sold out.
Kind of like the touring play of Hamilton - big build up and then, "Oh it is sold out".

Good to hear.
My sister-in-law is a member and is going to get tickets for us.
Cool!
