I never thought I would get the chance. Who imagines they will get to look at and then read the translations of the world's oldest copy of the Old Testament? I'd heard about them. I understood their significance. I just never believed I would see the Dead Sea Scrolls. And then they came to the ROM.

The Royal Ontario Museum is a a bit of a conundrum. One can travel through rows of bones and artifacts and read snippets that, in essence, speculate the age of those bones (many of them not real bone… Continue

Ok, so I'm still green at this. I haven't figured out where those comments go when someone leaves them so Nancy, I'm sorry I haven't replied. I can't find your comments.
