(AP) more similar news »
AP - One of the most important Dead Sea scrolls is going on display in Jerusalem this week — more than four decades after it was last seen by the public.

It went on display two years earlier, but curators replaced it with a facsimile after noticing new cracks in the calfskin parchment.
