Albatross

ISOLATED & BARREN. A dramatic view of Qumran and the caves where the Biblical and sectarian texts known as the Dead Sea Scrolls were hidden 2,000 years ago until they were discovered by Bedouin shepherds in the 1940s and 1950s. Overlooking the Dead Sea, the excavated remains of Qumran lie just a few hundred yards from caves where hundreds of scroll fragments were found.
