0:01
along the shores of the Dead Sea three
0:05
Bedouin shepherds were tending their
0:07
flocks when one of their goats strayed
0:09
from the herd thinking it had wandered
0:14
into a cave one of them threw a stone to
0:16
scare the animal out
0:21
the unexpected sound sparked their
0:24
curiosity and inside the young shepherds
0:28
uncovered clay jars that contained one
0:30
of the greatest archeological
0:32
discoveries of the 20th century (1)the oldest biblical texts ever found the
0:39
first of the Dead Sea Scrolls the
0:45
scrolls were handwritten some 2,000 years ago on durable animal skin
0:50
coachman with a few written on papyrus
0:53
they were mostly composed in Hebrew from
0:56
right to left with sheets written in
0:58
columns then sewn together creating a
1:01
single scroll for safekeeping some of
1:05
them would be wrapped in linen and
1:07
encapsulated in tall jars the scroll was
1:12
eventually replaced by the Codex as the
1:14
format for Christian manuscripts they
1:17
were made by folding sheets of papyrus
1:19
and stitching them together as time
1:23
passed courtesies began to grow larger
1:25
and more complex during the medieval
1:30
period books were reproduced by hand
1:34
monks spent their days copying text in Latin and Greek while others illustrated
1:39
the pages
1:43
[Music]
1:47
it was a grueling process that required
1:50
great skill and training
1:55
the books were very expensive to
1:58
illuminate the text they used various pigments and goldleaf and the pages
2:04
could require the hides of hundreds of
2:06
sheep or calves but it was the
2:12
introduction of the printing press that
2:14
transitioned the Bible in the Middle
2:16
Ages into the early modern world
2:19
this invention revolutionized book production ultimately making the Bible
2:24
available to the masses today it is the
2:30
best-selling book of all time inside its
2:34
pages you can find the stories of the
2:37
creation of the world Noah's Ark in the
2:40
flood
2:41
Moses receiving the Ten Commandments the
2:44
construction of Solomon's Temple the
2:47
birth of Jesus his crucifixion and
2:51
resurrection the Holy Spirit coming to
2:54
the Apostles and many more large
2:59
portions of these biblical stories are
3:02
represented in 400 of the oldest
3:04
manuscripts studied so far although a
3:08
few are complete most are either incomplete or fragments today the search
3:15
for more manuscripts continues what
3:19
other treasures like the Dead Sea
3:21
Scrolls are yet to be found

We'll be joined by an aviation
0:05

0:10
>>> The death toll in New York's
0:11
Erie county has risen to 39
0:13
people after the blizzard we saw
0:15
in recent days.
0:17
The county executive is warning
0:18
that sadly more deaths are
0:20
expected as crews are clearing
0:23
roads, conducting wellness
0:24
checks of people stranded or stuck in their home.
0:27
And now apologizing after he
0:29
criticized the mayor of Buffalo
0:30
for his storm response saying
0:32
that his emotions got the best
0:34
of him.
0:35
Athena Jones is live in Buffalo
0:36
this morning.
0:37
What are we hearing from the
0:39
officials as they are starting
0:39
to clear up the roads behind you
0:41
and really assess the damage
0:43
from this storm?
0:45
>> Reporter: Good morning,
0:46
kaitlan.
0:46
A lot of the roads have been
0:49
cleared as you can see.
0:49
The temperature has already
0:52
risen.
0:52
Trash pick up resuming today.
0:55
City hall opened yesterday along
0:56
with the courthouse, so things
0:58
getting back to normal but not
0:59
for the families who may be
1:01
missing loved ones still.
1:03
The medical examiner has
1:05
confirmed 39 dead but the Erie
1:07
county executive said that
1:09
number is almost certain to rise
1:11
because there were several other
1:12
bodies found, whether in a house
1:14
or outside.
1:16
They need to be autopsied and reviewed by the medical examiner
1:19
to determine if they were deaths
1:21
caused by the blizzard.
1:22
You mentioned him apologizing
1:25
him to the mayor of Buffalo for
1:27
criticizing him for a lack of
1:29
engagement.
1:29
He said that criticism was
1:32
misplaced, lost his focused and
1:36
apologized.
1:38
But the death toll is one thing
1:39
we're watching today.
1:39
>> As we're monitoring that, one
1:43
thing that stood out is the
1:44
stories we have heard.
1:47
We had someone on talking about
1:49
how she helped Joey white stuck
1:52
in a snow bank.
1:53
We're hearing so many of these
1:55
stories, have any of them stood
1:55
out to you?
1:58
>> Reporter: Sure.
1:59
They call this the city of good
2:01
neighbors and this is what this
2:04
story represents.
2:04
A mechanic, Jay white was stuck
2:08
in the snow at one point, trying
2:10
to drive his car to help a
2:11
friend, couldn't make it there.
2:13
He had an adventure on the way,
2:17
a woman who ran out of gas, she
2:19
joined his truck, they took
2:21
turns sleeping that night.
2:22
Earlier he tried to go to at
2:24
least 10 houses offering up to
2:27
$500 to let him sleep on the
2:29
floor, all of them said I'm
2:33
sorry, turned him away.
2:33
So he returned to his vehicle,
2:35
he and another woman slept in
2:39
their vehicle and eventually
2:40
they decided to break into a
2:42
nearby school because they knew
2:45
it would have heat and bathrooms.
2:46
And then he went out into the
2:50
school's parking lot and found a
2:51
bunch of parked cars people
2:53
stranded in the vehicles so he
2:54
said come into the school I
2:57
broke into and that's where they
2:58
spent the rest of the blizzard
3:02
until about evening of Christmas
3:04
day.
3:04
And he said, you know, if one of
3:06
those houses had let me in, I
3:08
wouldn't have had this
3:09
opportunity to save so many
3:11
lives.
3:11
He said that ages ranged from about 26 years old to around 73.
3:15
And he left a note in the end at
3:17
the school and he said, to
3:21
whomever it may concern, I'm
3:22
terribly sorry about breaking
3:25
the school window and breaking
3:26
the kitchen got stuck 8:00 P.M.
3:28
Friday, slept in my truck with
3:30
two strangers trying not to die.
3:34
There were seven elderly people
3:35
also stuck I had to do it to
3:37
save everyone and get them
3:39
shelter and food and bathroom.
3:41
And police said later these
3:42
people were stuck in areas they
3:44
could not be reached.
3:46
We know about the emergency
3:48
calls that went unanswered so
3:51
this mechanic took it upon
