The minuscule fragments, each measuring no more than half a centimetre across rolled up, are set to be unravelled by experts from the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) – and could provide scholars with significant insights into life in an ancient world. They were discovered inside tiny leather “phylacteries”, also known by the Hebrew term “tefillin”, cases which contain biblical passages and are bound to the head and arm during morning prayers. Dr Yonatan Adler, a tefillin expert at Hebrew University, explained to the Times of Israel how he stumbled across the new scrolls while searching through the IAA’s climate-controlled storage facility. They were collected along with the rest of the famous cache found overlooking the Dead Sea at Qumran in the 1950s, but seem to have been lost or forgotten among the other items catalogued at the time. “Either they didn’t realise that these were also scrolls, or they didn’t know how to open them,” Pnina Shor, curator and head of the IAA’s Dead Sea Scrolls Projects, explained.
