There’s a display of biblical proportions going on in Times Square.
Pieces of the priceless, 2,000-year-old Dead Sea Scrolls are on display at Discovery Times Square through April 15, alongside 500 centuries-old artifacts discovered in archeological digs in the Holy Land.

The 20 pieces of parchment make up the largest display of the famed scrolls ever seen in New York City.
The exhibition will also give New Yorkers a glimpse of life in ancient Israel during the early days of Judaism and Christianity.
Among the artifacts is a 3-ton piece of Jerusalem’s Western Wall, believed to have fallen from its southwest corner when the Romans invaded in 70 AD. It’s displayed next to a re-creation of the wall, into which visitors can insert slips of paper containing their prayers.
