I note that this is just an archaeological finding at the moment, it is a long way off from any analysis of the text... Traditionalists will always believe what they have been taught... Free thinkers will always keep an open mind and re-evaluate what they have been taught... Museum storerooms contain vast amounts of artefacts which were just collected or were trophies prizes from an expedition in another country. A lot of it hasn't been looked at, let alone catalogued, analysed or identified. On the other hand there are some things in museum storerooms that have been buried there for political or other reasons. Supposedly in the best interests of the general public!

There's every reason for these stunning discoveries to be made and then it tells us something against what we've been believing for eons. And how could something so significant be lost in a museum of all places? If you saw such a thing in a storeroom, you wouldn't just think it was another bit of paper.

Just imagine what we would have learned when such a small fragment of one book is so important. The destruction of the Royal Library of Alexandria by ignorant Barbarians was such a loss.
