Ancient Biblical Scroll

A very fragile Hebrew ancient scroll that wasn't able to be read for more than 1,500 years. Was now able to be read by new technology to "unroll the old scroll." Instead of unrolling the scroll physically the En-Gedi machine scans the information and gives the people a very clear picture to read the old scroll.  

What do you think of the En-Gedi Machine?

Do you think that is important to have a machine like this to unravel ancient artifacts? 

I think that the En-Gedi machine is a very high tech device that will help researchers uncover many hard to read documents.

The Machine I think is important that the more documents humans can read the better the human race will be able to tell our history in detail.

  • Good overall! I think your summary is a bit brief however. Also be sure to hyperlink correctly.

  • I think that the En-Gedi machine sounds pretty neat since it can understand things that we can't just by scanning it. I think it is important to have this machine because learning stuff about 1,500 years ago is always something new to learn. I think it will better our society in the long run.

  • I think the En-Gedi Machine seems pretty cool since it could scan and understand something we couldn't read ourselves. Yes I think it is very important to have a piece of technology like this cause learning about past things is always a win!

  • I think this is a really cool piece of technology that will help people learn more about history. I think that it will help because there must be some damage done as they try to unroll them. This will give people a clearer idea and I applaud those that came up with this technology.

  • I believe that it is an important part of our history and to be able to have this machine to unravel ancient artifacts is a privilege to have. It is also important that the more history humans can learn the better the human race will be able to tell about the past and our history. 

    • Why do you think that the machine is important to our history for uncovering ancient scrolls and other old documents?

  • I think that it is an important part of our history to learn and understand what it is is a privilege to find and discover these things  

     I think it is important that the more history humans can learn the better the human race will be able to tell about our history 

    • Why do you think that this machine is and will be an important in our history?

  • I think the En-Gedi Machine is a very helpful tool. It could've been used many years ago when we started finding ancient artifacts. This would preserve the artifacts in their natural state. When we find them they won't be damaged by us.

  • The machine would be a good tool for keeping any ancient artifact from getting ruined by human encounters. It should help in the future for a lot of things. It can be very important in many different ancient finds in the future.
