The Dead Sea Scrolls

Thesis

 

     In 1947 two goat herders, Juma and Muhammed Ed-Dib, explored, encountered, and unknowingly exchanged ancient knowledge by stumbling upon the Dead Sea Scrolls which is considered the greatest discovery of the twentieth century. Blind of their true value, these brothers sold the scrolls dating back 2,000 years to the Old Testament. The publicity reclaiming the majority of the 800 Dead Sea Scrolls in 1990 by the Israel Antiquities Authority finally validates the historic significance of the original discovery and preservation of biblical knowledge.
