The Dead Sea Scrolls are among the most important archaeological treasures ever found in the Holy Land.
Comprising biblical books as well as sectarian texts. The scrolls were written by members of a Jewish sect, the Essenes, who lived in Qumran.
About two thousand years elapsed between the time the scrolls were deposited in the caves of the barren hills surrounding the Dead Sea and their discovery in 1947. The fact that they survived for twenty centuries, that they were found accidentally by Bedouin shepherds, that they are the largest and oldest body of manuscripts relating to the Bible, make them a truly remarkable archaeological find.
