This is Marty Carpenter of the Salt Lake Chamber with your Utah Business Report.
This November, "Dead Sea Scrolls: Life and Faith in Ancient Times" is coming to Salt Lake City at The Leonardo. This exhibit presents one of the most comprehensive collections of ancient artifacts from Israel ever organized, including 20 scrolls, which are displayed 10 at a time. The exhibit included the oldest known copies of the Hebrew.
The artifacts and scrolls in the exhibit combine to provide an intriguing look at one of the most influential periods in history, including the emergence of ancient Israel and the births of Judaism and Christianity in the Holy Land.
For the Utah showing, The Leonardo will also highlight the contributions of scholars and scientists at Brigham Young University that have led to a deeper understanding of the meaning and significance of these precious artifacts.
