(ChurchLeaders) It sounds something like a thrilling plot for a new Indiana Jones movie, but it is a non-fiction story of archeological heroism coming out of Israel. A team of archeologists and young people participating in pre-military programs executed a highly technical cave expedition to rescue priceless artifacts—newly-discovered fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
In a report by CBN News, director of the Israeli Antiquities Authority (IAA), Israel Hasson, said, “The desert team showed exceptional courage, dedication, and devotion to purpose, rappelling down to caves located between heaven and earth, digging and sifting through them, enduring thick and suffocating dust, and returning with gifts of immeasurable worth for mankind.” The artifacts in this recent discovery came from a cave dubbed the Cave of Horror in the Judean Desert.
