The Dead Sea Scroller?

[SunkenCiv]

Megan Gambino: What drew you to this story? Can you describe its genesis a bit?	Andrew Lawler: It all began with a toilet. A Smithsonian editor asked me about the recent find of what one archaeologist claimed was a latrine at Qumran. Next thing I knew, I was bumping across the Judean hills in a jeep. But as with everything involving this site, there is no agreement on whether there was an indoor loo!

[Revolting cat!]

Don’t look at me, I didn’t!

[RegulatorCountry]

What plausible origin would there be, outside of the Essenes?

Allium want for Christmas is my two front teeth.

Essene a bad moon risin’.

It was either Clifford Irving.....or Joe Klein.....

[SunkenCiv]

The scrolls were smuggled out of Jerusalem and stashed during one of the Roman Wars / Jewish Wars. The only trace of the Essenes is in a single account of some hermits who lived in small caves along the Dead Sea (described in Josephus I think). The multi-storey building at Qumran was used as a working manorial farm, hotel, and maybe a whorehouse at different times during its ancient existence.

You’ve got guilt written all over your in some kind of early script.

[MindBender26]

Michael Rivero and Eschior worked on it together.

the recent find of what one archaeologist claimed was a latrine at Qumran

Maybe they found this kind of scroll?

They have trouble remembering their names.
