Scientists decipher 2,000-year-old Dead Sea scroll
Israel-based researchers have deciphered one of the last sea scrolls that were found in the 1940s and 1950s near the Dead Sea shore. Spending an entire year, researchers assembled more than 60 fragments of the coded document written over 2,000 years ago. The cipher gave fresh insight into the unusual 364-day calendar used by a Jewish sect, said researchers.
