Dead Sea Scrolls

Deep and deserted caves apart from hosting bacteria and ancient bones, sometimes house important and rare documents. A cave in the Judean Desert is believed to have hidden these scrolls for thousands of years. Though during this excavation no original scrolls were discovered other important artifacts were surely found. It is believed that the caves were looted long before the research team reached there in 2017.
In another excavation done previously, in the year 1947 a manuscript that had texts from 4th Century BC and 2nd Century AD was found.
