A settlement from the Second Temple Period, this was home to the sect of Jews escaping the Roman conquest of Jerusalem. It is also where a local shepherd found the Dead Sea Scrolls which include the oldest known copies of the Old Testament ever found. Other literary treasures found with this trove include the “Yahad” scroll, the scroll of the “War of the Sons of Light Against the Sons of Darkness”, and the “Temple” scroll.
