New Evidence
Despite the claims of Clermont-Ganneau, significant doubt about the Scrolls being a forgery has been raised. A recent Publisher's Marketplace news item announced author Chanan Tigay's non fiction work UNHOLY SCRIPTURES was sold for publication to Free Press. In it Tigay writes about Shapira and the finding of the oldest bible. Archeologists now believe the scrolls may have been the real artifact, and not a forgery as previously assumed. The search for the scrolls by author Chanan Tigay is ongoing. It is uncertain if the Scrolls were destroyed in a fire, as previously suggested. The Curtis Brown Agency represents Tigay's work.

The exact location of Shapira’s shop on Christian street in Jerusalem has now been identified. See the article of Shlomo Guil “In the Footsteps of the Concealed Shop” (Hebrew), Et Mol publication number 223, June 2012.
