SCROLLS MIGHT BE OLDER THAN THOUGHT

Split image of dead sea, scrolls

(FOX NEWS) – The Dead Sea Scrolls may be even older than
researchers thought, according to a new study driven by an
artificial intelligence (AI) model.

A group of researchers from the Netherlands, Italy and Denmark
recently published their findings in the journal PLOS One on
June 4.

The researchers said they developed an AI-based date-prediction
model named Enoch, a nod to
the biblical patriarch of the same
name.

The scrolls have attracted a great amount of interest from both
scholars and the public at large since their discovery.
