This movie storyline made me think of "Stigmata", and the shepard boy who lost his sheep in the cave in Jerusalem and found the infamous Dead Sea Scrolls.
The Shepard grew up, became a Priest (I think. :rolleyes and was the first recorded person to have suffered from Stigmata.
My point is this, does Anybody think there could have been a VIRUS or Curse on the Dead Sea Scrolls?
