These discoveries, the most outstanding among them being those of the Qumran caves have enriched our knowledge of early history. קומראן QUMRAN, The cliffs, location of the caves.
These scrolls belonged to a Jewish woman a member of one of three major Jewish sects of that period. The extreme faction of that sect established a settlement in one of the arid desert tracts of Qumran and remained in existence for two centuries.
About 200 of the scrolls are from biblical times. At Qumran all the Books of the Bible, except the Book of Esther, were discovered. We now have manuscripts in our possession that are thousands of years old, some of them dating close to the period of their authorship.
After the Qumran discoveries, there began extensive searches in the desert for other manuscripts and six additional ones containing ancient writings were discovered, among them those that pre-dated the Qumran finds (Wadi Dalia in the period of Alexander the Great), and some from later periods.
