Dead Sea Scrolls dated to {AM 4350 - 4450} (jan 1, 200 BC – jan 1, 100 BC)

Description:

The Dead Sea Scrolls come from various sites and date from the 3rd century BCE to the 2nd century CE. The term usually refers more specifically to manuscripts found in 11 caves near the ruins of Qumrān, which most scholars think was the home of the community that owned the scrolls. The relevant period of occupation of this site runs from c. 100 to c. 68 BCE, and the scrolls themselves nearly all date from the 3rd to the 1st century BCE. The 15,000 fragments (most of which are tiny) represent the remains of 800 to 900 original manuscripts.
