Dead Sea Scrolls San Diego

San Diego Dead Sea Scrolls

The Dead Sea scrolls consist of roughly 900 documents, discovered between 1947 and 1956 in eleven caves in and around the Wadi Qumran (near the ruins of the ancient settlement of Khirbet Qumran, on the northwest shore of the Dead Sea) in the West Bank. The texts are of great religious and historical significance, as they include practically the only known surviving copies of Biblical documents made before 100 AD, and preserve evidence of considerable diversity of belief and practice within late Second Temple Judaism.
Many of the scrolls are now housed in the Shrine of the Book which is in Jerusalem.
