Answer:
1) The fame of the Dead Sea Scrolls is what has encouraged both forgeries and the shadow market in antiquities. They are often called the greatest archaeological discovery of the 20th century because of their importance to understanding the Bible and the Jewish world at the time of Jesus.
2)The Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered more than 60 years ago in seaside caves near an ancient settlement called Qumran. The conventional wisdom is that a breakaway Jewish sect called the Essenes—thought to have occupied Qumran during the first centuries B.C. and A.D.—wrote all the parchment and papyrus scrolls.
3) A unique combination of salts and chemicals, developed more than two millennia ago. In 1947, shepherds discovered the now-famed Dead Sea Scrolls in the Judaean Desert's 11 Qumran Caves. It is housed in the Shrine of the Book, an Israeli museum in Jerusalem, along with the other Dead Sea Scrolls.
4) Carbon dating the Dead Sea Scrolls refers to a series of radiocarbon dating tests performed on the Dead Sea Scrolls. The majority of the Dead Sea Scrolls are in Hebrew. Nearly all the authentic Dead Sea Scrolls fragments are made of tanned or lightly tanned parchment, but at least 15 of the Museum of the Bible's fragments were made of leather, which is thicker, bumpier, and more fibrous.
5) The Dead Sea Scrolls include fragments from every book of the Old Testament except for the Book of Esther. Along with biblical texts, the scrolls include documents about sectarian regulations, such as the Community Rule, and religious writings that do not appear in the Old Testament.
