[edit] Information

Ever since they were discovered in 1947, the Dead Sea Scrolls have proved to be one of the most important finds ever, informing man-kind of their origins and, since they contain a 2000-year-old incarnation of the Bible, charting religious and sociological history. Learn how archaeologists found them and how the entire world reacted to their discovery, and watch a reenactment that purports to trace just how the documents ended up where they did. From the beginning, the Dead Sea Scrolls have captured the imagination and interest of scholars and the public. The scrolls tell us of a time of ferment and change, of apocalyptic visions, and they shed light on the earliest days of Judaism and Christianity. Do the scrolls tell us an eyewitness account of Jesus? Was he a part of the monastic community living at Qumran in the desert? After fifty years of scrolls research, a science films bring the legend to life, from the diverse perspectives of biblical scholarship, science and technology. The film bring together the most important scrolls scholars, archaeologists, and cutting edge technologies, to create a moving portrait of the Qumran community who left the scrolls. In 2002, after more than 50 years of study, the scrolls and the research were finally to be published. Produced and directed by Sterling van Wagenen and Bo Landin ; A co-production with Discovery Channel, Scandinavian Films USA Inc. and KBYU Television
