The Dead Sea Scrolls: Treasure of the Caves

In AD 67, members of a mysterious religious sect hid a collection of over 900 sacred scrolls in caves in the Judean desert bordering the Dead Sea. The chance discovery of the ancient scrolls 2000 years later was considered one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time and sent shock waves through the world of Bible scholarship. Who wrote them? Why were they hidden? And why are they so important to us today? 📚 The free booklet to this episode "Secrets of the Dead Sea Scrolls": 📚 https://tij.tv/offers/secrets-of-the-... 💿 Similar Topics: 💿    • The Mystery of the Silver Scrolls      • The Mystery of the Rosetta Stone      • The Wonders of Ancient Egypt      • Machu Picchu – The Mystery of the Ancient ...      • The Kingdom of Stone - The Incredible Journey   http://tij.tv/playlist/archaeology 🇦🇺 About the Ministry 🇦🇺 The Incredible Journey is a donor-funded ministry passionate about communicating our bold vision of sharing the good news of Christ and preparing people for the soon coming of Jesus.
