ABOUT THE TALK

A tremendous discovery, the Dead Sea Scrolls were found in 12 caves around the site originally known as Ein Feshkha near the Dead Sea between 1946 and 1956 by Bedouin shepherds and a team of archaeologists.  Most of the documents were found in Qumran Cave #4 pictured above. 

Getting the the Dead Sea Scrolls organized, preserved, translated, and published was another story, one involving missteps and controversy. This talk will describe the difficulties that archaeologists and scholars encountered along the way.  Included will be background about the area where the leather scrolls and the unique copper scroll were found, their condition, the number of books and their contents, and theories about their origin.
