Not sure I would put it up there with the Dead-Sea Scrolls but it is an exciting find of a Psalm Book from about 800 AD in a bog in Ireland.

Bart,

What makes this find even stranger, it was found actually opened to Psalm 83... And found during this Israeli-Lebanon conflict.

Quote from WND: The "miraculous" find of ancient psalms in an Irish bog has some wondering if there's any special modern relevance, since the discovery dealt with the enemies of Israel attempting to destroy the nation.

Coincidence? Perhaps so... Who knows except God...
