A new set containing dozens of Dead Sea scroll fragments has been discovered this week for the first time since 1947.
The fragments were found in a desert cave south of Jerusalem and contain Greek text of the Books of Zechariah and Nahum.
The fragments are believed to date to the 1st century A.D.
The Dead Sea Scrolls were originally found over 60 years ago and contained Biblical Old Testament texts with copies dating over 2,000 years old, making up the oldest known copies of these texts.
Included in the discovery was a basket dated at 10,000 years old and a child skeleton dated at 6,000 years old with secular dating methods.
