The Land of Israel constantly reveals hidden treasures, testifying to its rich history and the Jews’ deep roots in the land. This time, archaeologists discovered more evidence surrounding the famous, ancient Dead Sea Scrolls.
In one of the most exciting archaeological discoveries in recent memory, and the most important in the last 60 years in the Dead Sea area, Israeli archaeologists have found more evidence surrounding the famous Dead Sea Scrolls.
Excavations in a cave on the cliffs west of Qumran, near the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea, found that Dead Sea scrolls from the Second Temple period were hidden in the cave, but were looted by Bedouins in the middle of the last century.
With the discovery of this cave, scholars now suggest that it should be numbered as the 12th cave found to be containing the rare and ancient scrolls.
The Dead Sea Scrolls are the world’s oldest biblical manuscripts, which were preserved for thousands of years in the desert’s arid climate and discovered in 1947. The collection is considered the crown jewel of Israeli antiquities.
The scrolls, mostly Hebrew writings from the Second Temple period, were discovered in the Qumran Caves. They are believed to have been written by members of a Jewish sect known as the Essenes.
以色列的土地常常揭露隐藏的宝藏，证明它丰富的历史和犹太人在土地的根深。这一次，考古学家发现了更多的证据围绕着着名的，古老的死海古卷。
在最近记忆中最令人兴奋的考古发现之一，以及在死海地区最重要的60年中，以色列考古学家在着名的死海古卷上发现了更多的证据。
在死海西北岸附近的Qumran以西的悬崖上的一个洞穴中的挖掘发现，第二神庙时期的死海卷轴隐藏在洞穴中，但在上个世纪中期被贝都因人抢掠。
随着这个洞穴的发现，学者现在建议，它应该被编号为第12洞，发现包含罕见和古代卷轴。
死海古卷是世界上最古老的圣经手稿，在沙漠的干旱气候下保存了数千年，并于1947年被发现。这个收藏被认为是以色列古物的皇冠。
卷轴，主要是希伯来文从第二庙时期，在Qumran洞发现。他们被认为是由称为埃塞内斯的犹太教派的成员写的。
