Dozens of new Dead Sea Scroll fragments bearing biblical text are discovered in Israel's 'Cave of Horror' having been hidden during a Jewish revolt against Rome 1,900 years ago
The Israel Antiquities Authority say they were found in a remote canyon in the Judean Desert, south of Jerusalem – the first find of its kind in 60 years. The fragments include lines of Greek text from the biblical books of Zechariah and Nahum and were radiocarbon dated to the 2nd century AD, experts confirmed.
