A copy of part of the Dead Sea Scrolls is displayed at the [Dead Sea Scrolls: Life and Faith in Biblical Times] exhibition at Discovery Times Square on December 16, 2011 in New York City. The show, which includes a parchment scroll of one of the best-preserved manuscripts of the Ten Commandments, features hundreds of artifacts originating from archaeological explorations by the Israel Antiquities Authority and a three-ton stone from the Holy Lands Western Wall onto which vistors can place their prayers.
