The Dead Sea Scrolls

In the spring of 1947 with Palestine on the brink of war, three boys stopped at a watering hole near the dead sea.  One of the boys, bored, wandered off and began throwing rocks into the nearby caves.  Hearing the faint crash of pottery he thought he struck treasure. While no gold was to be found. Little did he realize he just discovered what could be considered the greatest discovery in the 20th century..  The Dead Sea Scrolls.  If you enjoy what you hear, make sure to give us a rating and review!  New 5 Minute History episodes every Wednesday  New deep dive episodes every Sunday.  - CH
