The Dead Sea Scrolls, Archaeological Museum , Amman

The Dead Sea scrolls consist of roughly 900 documents, including texts from the Hebrew Bible, discovered between 1956 and 1979 in eleven caves in and around the Wadi Qumran. The texts are of great religious and historical significance, as they include practically the only known surviving copies of Biblical documents made before 100 AD.
