Dead sea scrolls to go on Google archive
The Dead Sea scrolls will soon be available to anyone with an internet connection.
Search engine Google and the Israel Antiquities Authority have revealed plans for an online archive of the scrolls, which number around 900.
The images will appear in high definition. Users will also have a chance to join up the thousands of pieces of scroll into one virtual document The organisers hope that the website will be live by the beginning of 2011.
