Jim Charlesworth is a professor convinced that a large number of the Dead Sea Scrolls have yet to come to light, and that he, like a modern-day Indiana Jones can track them down. He is not alone in his quest. Other scroll hunters, archaeologists, scholars and scientists, share his conviction. For those who deal in scrolls, or deal in the secrets that they hold, the story is far from over.

  • You tell it's an old film because nobody is walking around staring at their phone.
  • Could you send the dead sea scrolls into PSA to be graded? They'd probably score like a 2.
  • A wonderful historical coverage documentary about fragmented, sensitive, remarkable matter belonged to the relationship between judisim and Christianity ...thanks for sharing

    so is he looking for dead sea scrolls as in part of those original scrolls or in the same specific area or any scrolls that add more to the story? they keep saying dead sea scrolls like theyre referring to the original finds but then they go talking about other possibilties or a completely new find. and how could anyone say hes looking for something that doesn't exist. as if they believe we have already found everything there is to find, which is a ridiculous assumption.
  • The professor may drive a Honda, but I remember a video of Bezos driving a small car. The interviewer asked why don’t you change and he’s like it’s a good car. Bezos was rich but didn’t up grade. Now he certainly has haha
  • The Middle East is one of the most ancient regions to be inhabited by homo sapiens. No doubt, there's historical treasure underneath nearly every sand grain.

    I've already viewed a questionable account with these vidio not mentioning a 15 year old sheep herder throwing an object inside the first cave and hearing a clinging sound hitting one vase and going inside to discover the dead sea scrolls inside one of a few vases ! The photo shown with person photo ID was quite a few years older than 15 years old ! I'm in ????? with truth in the same comparison as story connection with Mary Magdoline
  • What if the missing pages tell a story where adam and eve return to the garden of eden? What if they contain instructions for a kind of Christian meditation?

    Interesting how the religious scholars pick and choose which scrolls to show to the public, and those that remain hidden. Or the fact god didn't seem to know about the rest of the planet outside the jewish holy lands. And why are so many of these people Ashkenazi, they're from Ukraine, not Jerusalem.

    if they are missing how do ya know they are so impertant? more made up rabbit holes and drama.
  • @jeffnichols7834
    I find this documentary fascinating yet many will use this as evidence to say this is why we should trust in man and not some fairy tale God. Despite all criticism, God is existing throughout space and time and is outside of both of those. People will always find an excuse for their behavior.
  • theyre written in hebrew block script. this language does not exist before about 700 a.d. ...
