Discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls
“A cave above Wadi Qumran, winter 1947. Bedouin shepherds peer into a clay jar in a cliffside cave. Foreground shows a young Mohammed edh-Dhib pulling out a parchment scroll wrapped in linen; midground reveals more jars set in a corner of the limestone cave; the Dead Sea shimmers below under a bone-pale Judean sun.”
