Traders of the DEAD SEA SCROLLS
Archeologists. Smugglers. Scholars. Nomads. All are locked in a race to track down fragments of one of history's most controversial discoveries-the Dead Sea Scrolls. In 1947, a young Bedouin shepherd stumbled upon cryptic writings that had lain hidden for nearly 2,000 years. As eager scholars deciphered the documents, an astonishing truth came to light.
