Nothing seems to get archeologists into an Indiana Jones state of excitement more than the discovery of a Dead Sea Scrolls cave. In fact, they get all hot and bothered even if the scrolls have already been looted. That’s the case this week with the announcement of the discovery of what may be the 12th cave known to have once stored Dead Sea scrolls.
This exciting excavation is the closest we’ve come to discovering new Dead Sea scrolls in 60 years.
Hebrew University archaeologist Oren Gutfeld directed the international team of archaeologists from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Liberty University in Virginia which found the cave near Qumran in Israel.
