Unraveling the Mystery of the Dead Sea Scrolls
Description
Many scholars attribute the Dead Sea Scrolls to the Essenes, a Jewish sect who inhabited the town of Qumran in ancient time, but not everyone agrees. This film explores how the human remains and artifacts unearthed by archeologists 50 years ago are only now beginning the story of those who, in desperation, hid the scrolls in the caves above Qumran, and never returned.
