Ti dødehavsruller ...

er på vei til USA for å stilles ut i den før omtalte utstillingen "Discovering the Dead Sea Scrolls" i Charlotte, North Carolina. På News 14 Carolina kan du følge forberedelsene. Her får du f. eks. vite at utstillingen stiller svært store tekniske krav. Det handler bl. a. om oppvarming, klima- og lysregulering:

The exhibit hall will be 11,000 square feet. It must be exactly the right climate so that the scrolls don?t dry out.

"We had to redo all of our heating and air conditioning systems because we have to maintain a two-point difference in our humidity and temperature," Philips said Wednesday.

Ten authentic scrolls will be showcased in Charlotte. The cases that hold them will have the same lighting system that is used for the Declaration of Independence. Fiber-optic rays will minimize exposure.

"Every 30 seconds, those lights will cycle off for seven seconds to give a rest," Philips said. "You have to be very careful about showing those."
