 We continued after lunch to the museaum but before passing through many solders . Everyone at the age of 18 is required to join the army both men and woman. The men have to do a minimum of 32 months and the woman a minimum of 24 months.

The onto the scrolls dating back to 200 BC. In July 1947 the Syrian Orthodox Church purchesed  4 scrolls for $97.20  The scroll that we were able to see was 743cm long and was written 100BC
