'''Qumran''' was an isolated [[Essene]] community located near the Dead Sea from before the time of [[Jesus]] until the Jewish revolt and Roman reoccupation around 70 A.D. The Essenes believed in separating themselves from general society. It is most famous for the discovery of the [[Dead Sea Scrolls]], the earliest copies of books of the [[Bible]] ever found.
