DEAD SEA SCROLLS. The Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in the caves near Qumran (seen here). Although many were found in fragments, some were well preserved. For example, the Temple Scroll came from Cave 11 as an intact roll. It was later unrolled and revealed to contain a text about a temple and religious rules for a Jewish sect.
