Althalus Posted June 18, 2003 #1 Share Posted June 18, 2003 MONTREAL (AFP) - Fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls, considered one of the greatest archeological discoveries of the 20th Century, went on display in a Montreal museum Tuesday, the first time they have been out of Israel. Stumbled upon in 1947 in a cave near Khirbat Qumran on the Left Bank of the Dead Sea by a bedouin searching for an errant goat, the scrolls are considered a direct link to the origins of the Bible. Fragments of them are on public display at Montreal's Pointe-à-Callieres Archeological Museum until November, when they will be moved to the Museum of Civilizations in Ottawa.
