Register or LoginAP - One of the most important Dead Sea scrolls is going on display in Jerusalem this week ? more than four decades after it was last seen by the public. The 24-foot scroll with the text of the Bible's Book of Isaiah had been in a dark, temperature-controlled room at the Israel Museum since 1967. It went on display two years earlier, but curators replaced it with a facsimile after noticing new cracks in the calfskin parchment.</p><br clear="all"/>
