In the Jordan Museum, we can see some of the Dead sea scrolls, written during the period of 150 BCE (approx.), in the ancient languages of Hebrew, Aramaic and Koine Greek. Some are written in code.
The majority of the Dead sea scrolls were written in animal skin (leather) and papyrus and include fragments from every book of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, except for the Book of Esther. These are the older Biblical documents ever found.
These manuscripts were, apparently, written decades before Jesus was born, however it mentions the term "Son of God", the Council of Twelve, a Communal Meal, Baptisms, healings and the coming of a Messiah. Some scholars say that part of the manuscripts were written during the lifetime of Jesus. There are several theories about this.
More than 900 scrolls were found, between 1946/7 and 1956. The first 7 were, accidentally, found by a young bedouin shepherd, while looking for a sheep, in 1946/7. The remaining by archeologists.
The scrolls were found rolled and wrapped in linen, inside large clay jars. The jars were buried in 11 different caves, in the Qumran cliffs, near the Dead sea.
In one of these caves, was discovered a copper scroll with the total length of approximately 2.30 meters.
It was cut in 23 strips to make it easier for the archeologists and scholars to study them.
The copper scroll is a treasure map that describes the localizations of hidden buried treasures of gold and silver, in Jordan and Palestine.
Some silver coins and silver bars were discovered in some of the caves, during the excavations.
However, the treasures are believed to be just a legend.
