Israeli experts uncover Dead Sea Scrolls for first time in 60 years: The significance of the find, explained

Around 80 new fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in excavations in the Judean Desert, according to Israeli archaeologists.

About 132 and 136 A.D., they were most likely hidden during a Jewish revolt against Rome.

Israeli archaeologists reported the discovery of dozens of Dead Sea Scroll fragments bearing a biblical text in a desert cave, thought to have been hidden nearly 1,900 years ago during a Jewish revolt against Rome.

According to the Israel Antiquities Authority, the fragments of parchment discovered were Greek translations of the books of Zechariah and Nahum from the Book of the Twelve Minor Prophets, and have been dated to the first century based on the writing style.

They are the first new scrolls uncovered in 60 years in archaeological digs in the desert south of Jerusalem.
