A cache of ancient Jewish scrolls from northern Afghanistan that has only recently come to light is creating a storm among scholars who say the landmark find could reveal an undiscovered side of medieval Jewry.

It is a shame how many relics and books were destroyed by the Taliban (and probably will be in the future as well).

I'm glad this got out at least. A lot of history is being lost in that part of the world.

What was the Clay Bible about?

Savages. I'm of the opinion that belongs to us all. That's a general human heritage at this point.
