The fragments of ancient parchment were discovered in the Cave of Horror which is south of Jerusalem
This is the first item discovered from an archaeological dig in the Judean Desert in more than 60 years
The pieces of parchment found inside the cave include Greek lines of biblical text from Zechariah and Nahum
Other items found in the cave include a 10,000 year old woven basket and the skeleton of a young girl
Whether they're being saved, stolen or both, the tiny, two-millennia-old pieces of parchment and some much older artifacts found with them remain highly relatable even today.
