NO PHOTOGRAPHY ALLOWED was posted in five different languages. You now reap the benefit of my breaking this particular rule. I was actually smart enough not to get any shots in front of any security guards, though they eyed my camera nervously. My Olympus allows you to shut off the flash and will expose the film for up to four seconds, so I have lots of pictures I'm not supposed to, hehe. Here is a picture of an actual scroll fragment. You have to be careful, because about half of the stuff behind all that glass is just recreations anyway, oddly enough. These scrolls date from between 200 bce and 100 ad, but because of lack of historical references are impossible to precisely date. So much has been learned from these texts, an authentic snapshot of Judaism from 2000+ years ago.
