Ancient biblical scroll fragments discovered in Israeli Cave of Horror The operation began in 2017, when the Israel Antiquities Authority, government agencies and volunteers set to survey 50 miles of caves in the Dead Sea area using drones, rappelling and mountain climbing techniques to access the almost unreachable caves. Rappelling into caves in the Israeli desert, archaeologists unearth biblical scroll fragments, 6,000-year-old skeleton and the oldest basket in the world in mega-dig. Another major find, this time revealed by volunteering youth, was a huge, intact woven basket with a lid that dates back some 10,500 years ago. The basket holds invaluable information on storage in the times before the invention of pottery. The researchers believe the basket to be the oldest basket to be found in the world and note that it was preserved so well due to arid conditions. Source: Israel21C ??
