问题     The term Dead Sea Scrolls (卷轴) (DDS) refers to the remains of between 800 and 900 ancient Jewish manuscripts which were found in a set of caves along the shore of the Dead Sea in the mid-20th century. Considered to be among the most significant archaeological finds of all time, the scroll fragments—most of which are dated to between the third and first centuries B. C.—contain some of the earliest versions of biblical texts, as well other writings, shedding light on the history of the Jewish people and the origins of Christianity. The majority of the Dead Sea Scrolls are currently held in the collection of the Israeli government, but some fragments can be found circulating on the private market—some of which are purchased by museums.
    In 2016, 13 of the 16 fragments obtained by the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D. C. were published by a team of experts. However, some expressed concern over the authenticity of these fragments given that all were purchased after 2002 when a significant number of suspected forgeries appeared on the market. In fact, an investigation in 2018 conducted by a team of German experts had revealed that five of the fragments displayed " inconsistencies with ancient origins." These were subsequently removed from display.
    Following this find the museum put together a team of experts to investigate whether or not the 16 fragments held by the institution were authentic. To determine the authenticity of the fragments, the team used a variety of techniques including examining them with both traditional and 3D microscopes, identifying the materials from which they were made, and analyzing the materials deposited on their surfaces.
    "After an exhaustive (详尽的) review of all the imaging and scientific analysis results, it is evident that none of the textual fragments in Museum of the Bible’s Dead Sea Scroll collection are authentic," Loll, the leader of the team, concluded in a report describing the findings of the investigation. "Moreover, each exhibits characteristics that suggest they are deliberate forgeries created in the 20th century with the intent to mimic authentic Dead Sea Scroll fragments. " Despite the unfortunate findings of the investigation, the museum has said that the research could have important positive implications.
