The first '''Dead Sea Scrolls''' to be found, were discovered by Bedouin shepards in 1947 who uncovered seven scrolls in a cave. In the following decade, further searches yielded many thousands of scroll fragments and there are currently approximately 850 such documents known to exist. A nearby habitation, known as Qumran, was also excavated in this time in an effort to identify the people who left the scrolls in the caves.
