In 1947, a shepherd stumbled upon a hidden cave along the shore of the Dead Sea. Concealed inside were ancient scrolls that had not been seen for 2,000 years. After extensive excavation, a total of 972 remarkably preserved scrolls were found, including the earliest Biblical texts ever discovered. Now known as the Dead Sea Scrolls, they have been called the most significant archaeological find of the last century. See these historic scripts and more than 600 items from antiquity when you buy today’s DealYo. You’ll pay $15.75—half the regular price—for one admission to The Franklin Institute’s Dead Sea Scrolls: Life and Faith in Ancient Times ($31.50 value). Purchase multiple vouchers and plan a fun and affordable outing for the whole family in Philadelphia to explore this once-in-a-lifetime exhibit. The exhibit presents one of the most comprehensive collections of ancient artifacts from Israel ever organized, featuring a total of 10 scrolls, including the oldest known copies of the Hebrew Bible and four never-before-seen scrolls.
