Newly deciphered Esther scroll from Qumran! (Purim edition)

DR. RABBI ASHER TOV-LEV Newly Deciphered Qumran Scroll Revealed to Be Megillat Esther (TheTorah.com).
The discovery upends decades of research addressing the question of why the Book of Esther is missing from Qumran.
I remember Professor Frank Moore Cross once commenting that there were so many Qumran fragments that consisted of just one letter, you could reconstruct any text you wanted from them.
