Fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls, considered one of the greatest archeological discoveries of the 20th century, are displayed 18 June 2003 at Montreal's Pointe-a-Callieres Archeological Museum, the first time they have been out of Israel. Stumbled upon in 1947 in a cave near Khirbat Qumran on the Left Bank of the Dead Sea by a bedouin searching for an errant goat, the scrolls are considered a direct link to the origins of the Bible. "The Dead Sea Scrolls are the greatest patrimony of Israel, maybe of the Jews. They are our Mona Lisa, but they are more than that," said James Snyder, curator of the Jerusalem museum that loaned the pieces to the Canadians.
