Brethren, this according to Yahoo News:
British archaeologists are seeking to authenticate what could be a landmark discovery in the documentation of early Christianity: a trove of 70 lead codices that appear to date from the 1st century CE, which may include key clues to the last days of Jesus' life. As UK Daily Mail reporter Fiona Macrae writes, some researchers are suggesting this could be the most significant find in Christian archeology since the Dead Sea scrolls in 1947.
The codices turned up five years ago in a remote cave in eastern Jordan—a region where early Christian believers may have fled after the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE. The codices are made up of wirebound individual pages, each roughly the size of a credit card. They contain a number of images and textual allusions to the Messiah, as well as some possible references to the crucifixion and resurrection. Some of the codices were sealed, prompting yet more breathless speculation that they could include the sealed book, shown only to the Messiah, mentioned in the Book of Revelation. One of the few sentences translated thus far from the texts, according to the BBC, reads, "I shall walk uprightly"--a phrase that also appears in Revelation. "While it could be simply a sentiment common in Judaism," BBC writer Robert Pigott notes, "it could here be designed to refer to the resurrection."

Commentary. Though undoubtedly fascinating, there’s been so much fraud in this field that I am not holding my breath too much. Besides, we don’t know the context in which they were found. But if real, wow.
One thing I will say, though: Mormon friends, these are not the original text for the “golden plates” given to Joseph Smith by “Moroni.” Sorry!
*Update, April 2, 2011: Well, it doesn’t look good. The things are probably a modern forgery. Read about it here. Therefore, they might be the originals of the Book of Mormon!
