Digging Up the Dead Sea Scrolls (Episode 10)

Biblical Archaeology Audio Podcast with Dr. Kenneth Hanson

Digging Up the Dead Sea Scrolls (Episode 10) ) The world changes -- silently and without fanfare -- on a particular summer day in 1947. A goat belonging to a Bedouin flock wanders off among the multiple caves that dot the desert hillsides. Young Muhammed Adh-Dhib is a Bedouin lad, responsible for tending these goats, and it should come as no surprise that he becomes more than a little agitated over the fate of this lost animal. He runs off to search among the rocky crags of the Judean wilderness. This is only the beginning of an incredible saga of discovery that will bring to light what may well be the most important archaeological find of the 20th century – the Dead Sea Scrolls.
