Are The Most Important Parts Of The Dead Sea Scrolls Missing?

Jim Charlesworth is a professor convinced that a large number of the Dead Sea Scrolls have yet to come to light, and that he, like a modern-day Indiana Jones can track them down. He is not alone in his quest. Other scroll hunters, archaeologists, scholars and scientists, share his conviction. For those who deal in scrolls, or deal in the secrets that they hold, the story is far from over.

You tell it's an old film because nobody is walking around staring at their phone.

A wonderful historical coverage documentary about fragmented, sensitive, remarkable matter belonged to the relationship between judisim and Christianity ...thanks for sharing

[donnettevanwagoner]

I know a DSS scholar who is so familiar with the scrolls, he can recognize the difference in hand writing from one scribe to another.

[KerrieRedgate]

I’m certain the Vatican has a vault full of these scrolls, some never having seen the Western light of day.

1997 Documentary "Traders of the Lost Scrolls"

[a.p.]

Great story. My 11th great grandfather built a house in Gex France not far from Geneva Switzerland. He was the 1st of my family to leave France . He settled in Lewes England sometime after 1558 AD. He built the house in Gex in 1558 so he left sometime afterwards. The family is traced back to 836AD in France and Belgium. I believe My earlier Great grandfather's and their families moved into Gex France area after The 100 years War with the Spanish. Maurice de Parmelee or Parmelie was my 14th great grandfather and was served papers by The Duke de Alva of Spain to renounce his Protestant doctrines or be burned at the stake. He fled to Holland.

Does anyone have know where they are at today with documentation and translation of the scrolls/fragments?

[savannahshepherd]

I like these older docs ppl still knew how to socialize

[edwardcook]

The biblioteque de france has the missing scrolls from the dead sea scrolls.

The scrolls were divided amongst differents institutions for translation, but the french never gave the translations nor the original scrolls back

[dionpryor]

I remember for years they wouldn't tell the public what they found or the translations..I believe they have hidden some scrolls

[TheDeepening]

Could you send the dead sea scrolls into PSA to be graded? They'd probably score like a 2.

[hbmwqgy]

Hate to point this out but “remnants” only has 2 syllables. You gave it 3 but so do many ppl.

[lizgichora]

Thank you very much for this beautiful discovery of Middle Eastern History, " Qumran ."

The missing part is the disclaimer, that states that the contents of these scrolls is intended purely for entertainment, and that they do not reference any real event or person, either living or dead.

The most modern developments would blow their minds

[oldschool]

What year did this documentary come out? This world renowned professor is driving a 90s honda

[notsocrates]

I love how the guy in the beginning ignored all of the Christian Gospels and seemed to be in denial about their true religious beliefs.

[cdfdesantis]

The Middle East is one of the most ancient regions to be inhabited by homo sapiens. No doubt, there's historical treasure underneath nearly every sand grain.

[AndyJarman]

Seems a bit off that a theologian is in charge of investigating archeology.

[davemayers]

Until Jews, Christians and Muslims understand that none of this is worth fighting each other over, we are wasting our time.
