The greatest discovery after the Manuscripts of the Dead Sea is considered to be the seventy metal books, which were found in a Jordanian cave. Their pages, made of lead and tied with wire, may unlock some secrets of the first years of Christianity. In these books, the size of which is not bigger than that of credit cards, there are pictures, symbols and texts which seem to refer to Messiah, to the Crucifixion, and even to the Resurrection. What seems more mysterious is the fact that many of the books are sealed. Some analysts believe that those books consist of the lost collection of codes which refers the Book of Revelation of the Bible. The seventy books were discovered five years ago in a cave in the area of Jordan where, according to the Holy Writings, Christian refugees resorted after the fall of Jerusalem. The first metal analysis showed that some of the books may date back to the first century BC. This estimation is based on the kind of the erosion they have submitted, which is not possible to be artificial, but a result of time.
