The Dead Sea Scrolls may be even older than researchers thought, according to a new study driven by an artificial intelligence (AI) model.A group of researchers from the Netherlands, Italy and Denmark recently published their findings in the journal PLOS One on June 4.The researchers said they developed an AI-based date-prediction model named Enoch, a nod to the biblical patriarch of the same name.ANCIENT CHRISTIAN FIGURINES DISCOVERED IN 1,500-YEAR-OLD DESERT GRAVESEnoch "was trained as a machine learning-based date-prediction model applying Bayesian ridge regression on established handwriting-style descriptors," according to the study.In order to date the scrolls, the model analyzed each one's handwriting style. Researchers also integrated radiocarbon dating methods and found that most of the scrolls were at least a generation older than previously thought.Previous estimates placed the scrolls between 150 and 50 B.C., but the model found that many of the scrolls date to around 200 B.C."Enochs style-based predictions are often older than traditionally assumed paleographic estimates, leading to a new chronology of the scrolls and the re-dating of ancient Jewish key texts that contribute to current debates on Jewish and Christian origins," the paper states.LITTLE GIRL DISCOVERS 3,800-YEAR-OLD AMULET WITH TIES TO BIBLICAL PEOPLE DURING FAMILY TRIPThe researchers also indicate that the new dates are "realistic.""There are no compelling paleographic or historical reasons that preclude these older dates as reliable time markers," the authors said.For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyleThe scrolls, found in desert caves near the Dead Sea in the 1940s and 1950s, date between the third century B.C. to the first century A.D.They offer a wealth of knowledge about ancient Judaism, with many religious texts during the Second Temple period that were previously unknown.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERSince their discovery, the scrolls have attracted a great amount of interest from both scholars and the public at large.In 2021, Israeli researchers uncovered dozens of new Dead Sea Scroll fragments.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPIn April, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library showcased a special collection of eight ancientJewish manuscripts as part of its exhibition on the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Police have launched an investigation after vandals targeted murals of baseball legends Jackie Robinson and Minnie Mioso.The paintings, located along a fence in Miami's Dorsey Park, are part of a collection of artwork honoring multiple legendary baseball stars.Negro League teams once played games at the historic park.Prominent members of the community held a news conference and said the vandalism was initially discovered by a 7-year-old boy.

"The reason why this keeps being perpetuated is because we keep covering it up."MAN WHO STOLE JACKIE ROBINSON STATUE FROM PARK SENTENCED TO NEARLY 15 YEARS IN PRISONOn Wednesday, Democratic U.S. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick described the vandalism as a "vile act of hatred.""We must treat this for what it is: a hate crime meant to instill fear and division. But we will not be intimidated. We will respond with unity, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to truth, justice, and the preservation of our history," she said.Robinson broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball in 1947 when he became the first Black player, signing with the Brooklyn Dodgers.

President Donald Trump and billionaire Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musks feud exploded on social media, and one potential 2028 presidential contender added his two cents into the mix.ESPN star Stephen A. Smith fired off a post on X in the midst of the president and Musks extremely public break-up in front of millions of social media users. Musk asked his X user base whether it was time to "create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle."CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe "First Take" pundit fired off another take, expressing interest in what Musk asked."Mr. @elonmusk Im all for moving America to the CENTER. Im definitely down for that cause! Sign me up!!!" he wrote.Smith has expressed his dissatisfaction with both sides of the political aisle, criticizing how Democrats handled governing the country over the last four years, particularly with open borders, high spending, identity politics and cancel culture. Hes also had his criticisms of Trump, pointing to the administrations dismantling of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.Hes also maintained that he may have "no choice" but to consider a presidential run.MUSK UNLEASHES WILD EPSTEIN CLAIM AGAINST TRUMP AFTER BEING BOOTED FROM DOGEAs Smith has toyed with a presidential run, Trump and Musk have gone toe-to-toe after months of cozying up with one another. The main issue appeared to be opposite ideas about the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that was drafted and for which Trump has expressed support.Musk then made a jab over Trumps former relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The White House said earlier on Thursday that a source familiar with the Epstein matter said it is widely known that Trump kicked Epstein out of his Palm Beach Golf Club. The source also pointed out that the administration released the Epstein files, which included Trumps name, and nothing was new about Musks revelation.Shortly after Musk posted about Trump being in theEpstein file, Trump posted his response to Truth Social."I dont mind Elon turning against me, but he should have done so months ago. This is one of the Greatest Bills ever presented to Congress," Trump said, turning his attention to the "big, beautiful bill" that is before the Senate. "Its a Record Cut in Expenses, $1.6 Trillion Dollars, and the Biggest Tax Cut ever given. If this Bill doesnt pass, there will be a 68% Tax Increase, and things far worse than that.""I didnt create this mess, Im just here to FIX IT. This puts our Country on a Path of Greatness. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" the president added.Fox News Greg Wehner contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Disneys Imagineers are working on a new animatronic of iconic American visionary Walt Disney, but some members of his family have opposing views about whether it celebrates his legacy or dehumanizes him.Disneys Main Street Opera House plans to unveil a new theme park attractioncalled Walt Disney A Magical Life,featuring an audio-animatronic of the companys founder.But Joanna Miller, one of Disney's grandchildren, slammed the idea of an animatronic as "dehumanizing" in a viral Facebook post. Among her claims, she suggested that her grandfather had told early Imagineer Sam McKim he never wanted to be commemorated with an animatronic. She went on to speak to the Los Angeles Times about why she believes it goes against her grandfather's wishes.Shortly after she wrote her post, she met with Disney CEO Bob Iger and Disney Imagineers to see the animatronic in production, crediting the current company head as being "very kind" and noting he listened to what she had to say. The robot itself, however, left her cold.AS 'SNOW WHITE' STRUGGLES, HERE ARE FIVE MORE DISNEY CONTROVERSIES THAT ROCKED THE COMPANY"I think I started crying," Miller told the L.A. Times. "It didnt look like him, to me."She wrote in a separate letter to Iger, "I strongly feel the last two minutes with the robot will do much more harm than good to Grampas legacy," and worried people "will remember the robot, and not the man."As for claims that Disney would not have wanted to be commemorated as an animatronic, Imagineer Jeff Shaver-Moskowitz said, "In all our research, we never found any documentation of Walt saying that. We know that its anecdotal and we cant speak to what was told to people in private."After Miller's comments were published, The Walt Disney Family Museum shared a statement with Fox News Digital indicating other family members feel far more positively about the animatronic of the Disney family patriarch and were included in the process of its production."Walt Disney Imagineering invited museum Board membersfive of Walt Disneys grandchildren and three of his great-grandchildrento view the progress of the attractions development, which included a preview of the new Audio-Animatronics figure of Walt in its animated form," the statement said."As part of their meticulous eVorts to produce a historically accurate likeness, Walt Disney Imagineering also reached out to the team at The Walt Disney Family Museum for guidance in identifying items that Walt Disney regularly wore," it added.Chris Miller, Disneys eldest grandson and a member of the museums Board of Directors, said in the release, "I watched the show with my sisters Tammy and Jenny and the Imagineering team welcomed our feedback."He added further, "The level of innovation and technological advancement has exceeded anything that has been seen before in Audio-Animatronics. While our family has our own memories of Walt as our grampa, we left the presentation feeling confident that he will be depicted in the show as the public remembers him from his introductions on the "Disneyland and Wonderful World of Color TV" series."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURETamara Miller, Disneys granddaughter and vice president of the museums Board of Directors, offered similar praise."It was an honor to be welcomed by Imagineering to preview the Walt Disney A Magical Life attraction. Having this representation at the park that grampa built is the right place for this, to educate people about who he was and introduce him to new audiences," she said in the release. "This attraction is a great opportunity for an audience to get a good representation of him. We believe that our grandfather would have been enthusiastic about the project. I look forward to having my children and grandchildren see this representation of my grandfather."Fox News Digital reached out to The Walt Disney Company for comment.

A woman in Texas has died after contracting a fatal brain amoeba from contaminated water.The patient, 71, had used a nasal irrigation device filled with unboiled tap water from an RVs water faucet, according to an alert from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).The "previously healthy" woman was staying at a local campground at the time, the agency stated.DANGEROUS FUNGUS COULD SPREAD TO PARTS OF US, RESEARCHERS CLAIMWithin four days of using the nasal rinse, the woman developed "severe neurologic symptoms," including fever, headache and altered mental status.The patient was treated for a potential infection of primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), a rare, deadly brain infection caused by Naegleria fowleri, also known as the brain-eating amoeba.Despite treatment, the woman began having seizures and died eight days after symptoms began.Testing of the patients cerebrospinal fluid confirmed she had contracted N. fowleri, according to the CDC."This case reinforces the potential for serious health risks associated with improper use of nasal irrigation devices, as well as the importance of maintaining RV water quality and ensuring that municipal water systems adhere to regulatory standards," the health agency stated.Naegleria fowleri can also be a risk when swimming in fresh water. It is more prevalent during hotter months, as the amoeba grows best in high air and water temperatures.Fox News Digital previously spoke with Tammy Lundstrom, chief medical officer and infectious disease specialist for Trinity Health in Michigan, about the risks of infection."The risk of brain-eating amoeba is very low," she said. "Fewer than 10 people in the U.S. every year get infected but unfortunately, most cases are fatal. There are only a handful of survivors of known cases."The death rate for Naegleria fowleri exceeds 97%, per the CDC.The initial symptoms of PAM usually begin about five days after exposure, but they can be noticed sooner.Early signs usuallyinclude headache, nausea, fever and/or vomiting, the CDCs website states.As the infection progresses, people may experience confusion, stiff neck, disorientation, hallucinations, seizures and coma.DANGEROUS FUNGUS SPREADING IN US HOSPITALS HAS RAPIDLY INCREASED'"People usually start to feel ill one to 12 days after water exposure," Lundstrom said. "Early symptoms should prompta medical evaluation, as they are also signs of bacterial meningitis."Death can occur anywhere between one and 18 days of infection, at an average of five days.To prevent contracting the fatal infection, the CDC recommends using "distilled, sterile or boiled and cooled tap water for nasal irrigation," as "improperly maintained" municipal water and RV water systems carry the risk of disease.It is also best to avoid immersing your head in the water when swimming in summer, Lundstrom told Fox News Digital."Infection occurs when water harboring the amoeba goes up a persons nose, usually during swimming," she said. "It is not known why some people get infected and others, even swimming companions, do not."Drinking contaminated water does not present a risk, and the infection does not spread from one person to another, Lundstrom added.Because the amoeba is found in soil, the CDC also recommends avoiding stirring up the sediment at the bottom of lakes, ponds and rivers.When a patient has been diagnosed with a brain-eating amoeba, treatment usually includes a variety of antifungal medications, as well as antibiotics like rifampin and azithromycin, according to Lundstrom.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERMiltefosine, a newer antifungal drug, has been shown to kill Nagleria fowleri in laboratory tests and was used to treat some surviving patients, the CDC states on its website."However, the effect of all of these drugs on actual infected people is unknown due to the high fatality rate," Lundstrom noted.Those who experience sudden headache, fever, stiff neck or vomiting especially if they have recently been swimming in warm freshwater should seek immediate medical attention, the CDC recommends.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthDespite the infections high fatality rate, Lundstrom emphasized the rarity of cases."Millions of people enjoy swimming every summer, but only a few become infected," she said.
