It doesn't surprise me that there are fakes out there, or that some people will be fooled by them.
I can't seem to find out the details here. Which scrolls or fragments were faked?
Are the fakes just copies of already known authentic fragments?
Will this have any impact on actual scroll scholars, or was it only evangelical museum owners who were fooled?
Does anyone here know where to find out more about these fake scrolls?
ETA: Looks like Thor2 beat me to it...

A US Bible museum has removed fragments of what it believed were part of the Dead Sea Scrolls from display, after tests suggested they were forgeries. The Museum of the Bible, in Washington DC, sent five of its 16 fragments for analysis in Germany. But results showed "characteristics inconsistent with ancient origin", the museum said. Costing $500m (£386m), the museum was opened by Evangelical Christian and billionaire Steve Green in 2017. |
