New Dead Sea Scrolls cave discovered

 

JERUSALEM: -- Archaeologists have found a cave that once housed Dead Sea scrolls in a cliff in the Judean desert - the first such discovery in over 60 years.

 

Israel's Hebrew University said the ancient parchments were missing from the cave, and were probably looted by Bedouin people in the 1950s.

 

Storage jars, fragments of a scroll wrapping, and a leather tying string were found at the site.

 

The Dead Sea scrolls date from as early as the 4th Century BC.
