Archeologists claim that the Dead Sea Scrolls are perhaps one of the most precious finds of the 20th Century. Experts claim that the scrolls were originally written some time between 250 BC and 70 AD and some 900 of these scrolls were found in more than 10 caves.

The scrolls are also known as the Qumran (sometimes also spelled Kumran) Scrolls, as they were found near the place called Qumran, in Jordan. The scrolls reportedly include the Psalms, Phylactery, The Community Rule, Calendrical Document, Some Torah Precepts, Enoch Hanokh, Hosea Commentary Pesher Hosheas Prayer for King Jonathan Tefillah, Leviticus, Songs of the Sabbath Sacrifice, Damascus Document and The War Rule.

The greatest manuscript find of the last century is said to signify the abundance of literary artifacts from the Second Temple Period Jewry, shedding light into Judaism and Christianity. The scroll library contains books or works in a large number of copies, alongside tens of thousands of scroll fragments. The scrolls were reportedly written in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek.
