Researchers have begun using imaging tech originally developed for NASA to examine fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls and found that some of the fragments contain a hidden script that wasn't visible to the naked eye. The imaging technique resulted in the discovery of new letters and words and may even indicate the existence of additional manuscripts. Also, the imaging software is a godsend for researchers because it allows them to digitize the fragments and cut down on handling of these fragile fragments. Who knows what else they're going to find now that they have technology on the job? Thanks cageymaru.
Another fragment contains letters written in the ancient Hebrew script, known as paleo-Hebrew. This fragment could not be attributed to any one of the known manuscripts. This raises the possibility that it belonged to a still unknown manuscript.
