Considered to be among the most significant archaeological finds of all time, the Dead Sea Scrolls contain some of the earliest versions of biblical texts.
A collection of valuable Dead Sea Scroll fragments held at a Washington, D.C. museum have turned out to be fakes, an investigation has revealed.
In 2016, 13 of the 16 fragments obtained by the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. were published by a team of experts. However, some expressed concern over the authenticity of these fragments given that all were purchased after 2002 when a significant number of suspected forgeries appeared on the market.
To determine the authenticity of the fragments, the team used a variety of techniques including examining them with both traditional and 3D microscopes, identifying the materials from which they were made, and analyzing the materials deposited on their surfaces.
