The Dead Sea Scrolls are approximately 900 documents that are written in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. They were found in caves near Jerusalem in an ancient village called Qumran between the years of 1947 and 1956. The Dead Sea Scrolls contain some of the oldest copies of parts of the Old Testament. They also contain writings of a religious group called Essenes. This group was based in Israel in 200 BC and they lasted until 100 AD.

Interesting these scrolls were found in a village so close in name to Islam's holy book...
Qumran - Qur'an
Has anyone researched The Dead Sea Scrolls?
The story says Jesus spent from his teen years until mid 20s with the Essene in a village, but according to records, they disappeared 100 years before his birth...
