For the past 40 years, the 2,100-year-old Isaiah Scroll has been kept in a dark room with temperature and humidity controls, far from the public eye. A few days ago, in honor of Israel's 60th anniversary, the Israel Museum put the parchment scroll on display in the Shrine of the Book - for two months only.
This is the only complete scroll among the 220 biblical scrolls, known as the Dead Sea Scrolls, discovered at Qumran.
