Seventy lead codices turned up five years ago in a remote cave in eastern Jordan, a region where early Christian believers may have fled after the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE. The codices appear to date from the 1st century CE, which may include key clues to the last days of Jesus' life. Some are heralding the discovery as the most significant find in Christian archeology since the Dead Sea scrolls in 1947.
