The Dead Sea Scrolls are a compilation of about 900 ancient documents that comprise the oldest known texts of the Old Testament and contain various Psalms and stories not previously included in the Old Testament. They were discovered in eleven different caves on the shores of the Dead Sea in the mid-20th Century. In August 2008, Israel announced that the Dead Sea Scrolls would be made available in a digital format on the Internet.The New York Times: Israel to Display the Dead Sea Scrolls... (August 27, 2008)

In March 2009 Israeli scholar Rachel Elior disputed the long-argued theory the the Dead Sea Scrolls were written by the exclusive Jewish community known as the Essenes. Elior not only disputes that the Dead Sea Scrolls were written by the Essenes, but argues that the Essenes may not have existed at all. Elior contends that researchers have wasted over 60 years trying to find proof of the existence of the Essenes and calls them a "legend on a legend".Time: Scholar Claims Dead Sea Scrolls...
