2,000-Year-Old Hebrew Scroll Found by Palestinian Antiquities Thieves
[Ha'aretz] Jonathan Lis - Two Palestinians were arrested Tuesday for attempting to sell a rare antique Hebrew scroll. Handwritten in Hebrew on papyrus paper and estimated to be more than 2,000 years old, the document was written by a widow named Miryam Ben Yaakov. The document was apparently stolen from a cave by antiquities raiders. All archeological artifacts within Israel's borders are state property and trading in artifacts is illegal.
