I wasn't sure where to put this, so it appears here as well as in the "Ongoing Science News" thread.

I gave an interview a few weeks ago to a journalist from the Times of Israel about the recent scourge of manuscript forgeries purported to belong to the Dead Sea Scrolls:

One of the really interesting features of this story is that so many of these fragments are being sold at exorbitant prices to American Evangelical institutions.
