Buried at the time of Jesus - forgotten in desert caves for 2,000 years - found on the eve of the creation of modern Israel, the Dead Sea Scrolls have been called the greatest archaeological find of the century. A missing link in juman history, the scrolls provide unique insights into the origins of both the Christian and modern Jewish worlds - but they have been surrounded by sensation, speculation and even scandal since they were discovered by a bedouin boy half a century ago. Now, "The Story of the Dead Sea Scroll" opens the scrolls for you & answers their greatest riddles - what are they, who wrote them, why were they hidden and then forgotten, who were the strange Essene sect that predicted a Final Battle between the forces of Light and Darkness, and how do they relate to the Early Christians, to John the Baptist - perhaps even to Jesus himself?
