New Dead Sea Scrolls Portions Discovered, Marking First Major Find in 60 Years

For the first time in 60 years, archaeologists have found new fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls, a grouping of ancient Jewish religious manuscripts that date back to between the 3rd century B.C.E. and the 1st century C.E. The Israeli Antiquities Authority said that the new portions were discovered while surveying the Judean Desert, east of Jerusalem, in an area known as the “Cave of Horror” that has been named as such because of the skeletons previously discovered there.
