Thanks pointing that out. It is easy to fall into the hype of written press.

  But it is also easy to fall for pithy contrarian posts on HN! The dead sea scrolls are among the oldest documents. Notable they are the oldest version of books of the Hebrew bible. Many important texts which we think are older (like Plato, Homer etc.) are only known from transcriptions which are much more recent than then dead sea scrolls.
