History Dissertation - Dead Sea Scrolls

One of the most Fascinating archaeological find is the Dead Sea Scrolls. These Scrolls were found in 1947 by a Bedouin shepherd retrieving his lost goat out of a cave in the Judean desert near the remains of Qumran.

These scrolls get their name from being found not far from the Dead Sea.
