	How is it possible that the traditional culture of the people of Israel which existed until that generation all of a sudden disappeared? It is as if you claim that all the generations until the time of King Josiah lost all their cultural knowledge until the book of the Torah was found which saved the situation. The solution to the problem is simple. The passage in II Kings refers to the finding of the book of the Torah that Moshe himself wrote. Even nowadays if we would find a fundamental manuscript of a well known book that was written by a reliable person, we would be extremely happy if we could compare it to the versions available, to try to obtain a more exact picture of the language of the text. Every vowel and every letter in such a book would be important to us. It would be wonderful if we had an ancient book of the Torah such as the one found at the time of King Josiah according to which we could decide between variations of words in the Torah. In II Chronicles 34 14-15 it is stated clearly that the book was written by Moshe. According to our sages the book was open to the reproof section, which was why the King and the people took the contents of the book seriously.
