In 1947, Bedouin shepherds, entered a cave in the desert and found jars filled with ancient scrolls. Thousands of scroll fragments from eleven caves have been found since that day. Archaeologists also excavated the Qumran ruin, a complex of structures that might identify the people who deposited the scrolls.

''Within a fairly short time after their discovery, historical, paleographic, and linguistic evidence, as well as carbon-14 dating, established that the scrolls and the Qumran ruin dated from the third century B.C.E. to 68 C.E. They were indeed ancient! Coming from the late Second Temple Period, a time when Jesus of Nazareth lived, they are older than any other surviving manuscripts of the Hebrew Scriptures by almost one thousand years.'' <ref> [http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/scrolls/intr.html THE WORLD OF THE SCROLLS] Library of Congress Exhibitions. </ref>
