The Dead Sea Scrolls
(מְגִלּוֹת יָם הַמֶּלַח — Megillot Yam ha-melach)
The popular name of the manuscripts, discovered since 1947, in the caves of Qumran (tens of thousands of manuscripts and fragments), in the caves of Wadi Murabba'at (south of Qumran), in Khirbet Mirda (south-west of Qumran), and Also in a number of other Judean desert caves and in Masada (for the finds in the last two paragraphs, see the relevant articles). They are also called Kuran manuscripts, because the first were found in the caves of Qumran. But as later many scrolls were found in other caves of the Judean Desert on the shore of the Dead Sea, it is more correct to call them the Scrolls of the Dead Sea. They are also called Scrolls of the Judean Desert.

The main exhibits are scrolls of the dead sea. As can be seen in the photo below, the design of the building of the museum itself is made in the form of a clay vessel cover in which the scrolls were kept.With the assistance of Google, 5 online scrolls, including the most extant - the prophet Isaiah, became available. Very conveniently done, in the form of a scroll, which you can scroll, zoom in and see on the scale in which place of the scroll you are. We'll move the mouse over the scroll, the verse will be highlighted, and in the clue there is a place in the Bible, with a click on the translation into English.Thanks to the skillful work of photographer Ardon Bar-Hama, even the smallest details are visible on them. The resolution of the photos is 1200 megapixels, which is 200 times higher than the quality of a normal picture.With this resolution, you will see how thin the animal skin on which it is written is just one tenth of a millimeter.This is a digital scroll.
