JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Scientists in Israel are taking digital photographs of the Dead Sea Scrolls with the aim of making the 2,000-year-old documents available to the public and researchers on the Internet.

Israel Antiquities Authority, the custodian of the scrolls that shed light on the life of Jews and early Christians at the time of Jesus, said on Wednesday it would take more than two years to complete the project.

They should get Embarq Hi-Speed. It might go faster. Only floppy-armed muttonheads post their archaeological documents to the internet using dial-up.
