The Book of Revelation - Wisdom goes back

I was waiting for that. This ancient collection of 70 tiny books, their lead pages bound with wire, could unlock some of the secrets of the earliest days of Christianity. According to Daily Mail/MailOnline this could be the biggest find since the Dead Sea Scrolls. An may seventy metal books, whom found in cave in Jordan could change our view of Biblical history. Sure is the fact from a secret tradition passed on by Jesus to his closest disciples.

Dr Margaret Barker, a former president of the Society for Old Testament Study, confirmed that a sealed book is mentioned in the Bible.
The Book of Revelation tells of a sealed book that was opened only by the Messiah.
Other texts from the period tell of sealed books of wisdom and of a secret tradition passed on by Jesus to his closest disciples. That is the context for this discovery.
Professor Davies Elkington, who is leading British efforts to have the books returned to Jordan, said:
The possibility of a Hebrew-Christian origin is certainly suggested by the imagery and, if so, these codices are likely to bring dramatic new light to our understanding of a very significant but so far little understood period of history.’
It is vital that the collection can be recovered intact and secured in the best possible circumstances, both for the benefit of its owners and for a potentially fascinated international audience.
Remote part of Jordan is a place which were Christian refugees are known to have fled after the fall of Jerusalem in 70AD. Important documents from the same period have previously been found there, with Daily Mail, initial metallurgical tests indicate that some of the books could date from the first century AD.

May we find still more light of pure wisdom about our own tradiotions from the age period before so called Christian zombi-institutions.
