cannot be unrolled without causing further damage. William Seales at the University of Kentucky in Lexington and his colleagues used X-rays to scan the scroll, and developed software, called
“virtual unwrapping”, to digitally reconstruct the 'pages' and words of the ancient artefact (PICTURED). They found that the ink-based text, discovered in 1970, contains fragments
of the Book of Leviticus. _Sci. Adv._ 2, e1601247 (2016) This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your institution Subscribe to
