The Dead Sea Scrolls are a collection of ancient Jewish religious texts that were found in the Qumran Caves in the Judaean Desert, near the Dead Sea. Written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, the scrolls date back to the 3rd century BCE and contain biblical manuscripts, commentaries, and other religious texts that provide valuable insights into the religious and cultural life of the ancient Jewish community. The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls is considered one of the most significant archaeological findings in history, shedding light on the development of Judaism and the origins of Christianity.
