Description
More than 900 scrolls were discovered here in the mid 20th century that have been determined to have been written by Jews that had fled from Jerusalem. These scrolls were kept in clay pottery (amphores) and hidden in Caves to keep them safe. Unbelievably, these scrolls survived centuries without being discovered until a shepherd looking for lost animal tossed a rock into one of the caves only to hear pottery breaking. He climbed in to investigate and found the Dead Sea Scrolls. Qumran's location had long been known and explored, but the location of the hidden scrolls was unknown, as a matter of fact, it was not even known that they existed. The Dead Sea Scrolls are written on papyrus and are currently on display with the Israel Museum at the Shrine of the Book.
