My guess is dentures.

...What's inside? Sealed jar discovered at Qumran -- site of Dead Sea Scrolls...

Carnac's envelopes?

The lunch remains of a worker named Thermos.

I’m crossing my fingers and hoping it will be a section of one of the 4 Gospels.

Gypsum? I have no clue as to what it was used for in those times.

... the above statement is pure "fishing expedition", in the hopes some know-it-all (I'd settle for a know-more-than-I-do) while come along and enlighten us...

The scientists raise a few other possibilities – one is that Qumran’s residents waterproofed this particular jar by lining it with gypsum. It then could have been used to store water or another type of liquid. “Against this hypothesis is the fact that there have been no previous reports of gypsum lining of such jars,” the team writes.

I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure gypsum is water soluble so it wouldn't make a very good waterproofing substance.

GGG self-ping.
By the way, inside the jar is a gospel, a genie, or garum. Did anyone see an expiration date? No.

It says “Refrigerate after opening. Best if used before 100 AD.”
