Dead Sea Scrolls
Saison 1 Épisode 3 - Episode 3
Documentaire
In the Judean wilderness of Palestine, on the shore of the Dead Sea, the windswept desert ruins of Qumran still conceal ancient secrets. The human remains and artifacts unearthed by archeologists fifty years ago are only now beginning to tell the story of the people who, in desperation, hid the Dead Sea Scrolls in the caves above Qumran, never to return. They were people of faith and dreams: Aligning themselves with heaven over a period of two hundred years, they prepared for the end of days - a last great battle between the forces of light and the forces of darkness. Hidden for two thousand years, the scrolls are again talking to us - giving life to the Voices from the Desert. Join us as we Unravell the Mystery of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
