The question is - was it mummified or fossilized...  Either way, you got to be asking yourself, are you strong enough to pick it up?  Well, do you feel lucky, punk?  Go ahead undergrad student intern... make our day

So I tried to read the article. Does this mean the folks at QURAM were not a bunch of Essene whack-jobs?

I don't know.  I couldn't concentrate after the thought of getting excited about digging up an ancient ravine latrine and running tests on the stuff found inside... 


Were the Essenes really whack-jobs, or were they simply a fringe group that had kind of isolated themselves from the Pharisees and Sadduces?  I don't know.  Anyone have any better information?

They were probably pre-christian Christians... but without all the whacky Crosses and jesus fish... they probably collected a year's supply of food, had other scripture, and were led by inspired men, practiced baptism by immersion and had this odd tendency of regularly visiting all the families in the community on the last day of each month.
