Dead Sea Scrolls






At Qumran near the Dead Sea is where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found (the complete book of Isaiah) in the remains of the Essence Monastery and Caves. A goat belonging to a shepherd fell into a crevice in the rock and upon rescuing the goat, the shepherd found a scroll which he sold for $35,000 to a man from Bethlehem who later sold them for $250,000.
