This interactive historical reconstruction follows the traditional account of the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls near Qumran. You enter the landscape from the shepherd's point of view, following a wandering animal toward the limestone cliffs and the caves beyond.
The reconstruction is interpretive. The setting, sequence, and environmental details are presented as a museum visualization, while the caves, manuscripts, archaeological finds, and documented manuscript identifications are distinguished from reconstructed scenery.
