There was a dam built by the Romans on Wadi haKippah, near Qumran, in the year 67 approximately. The dam contained Roman fossils, including catapult stones, and pottery sherds from period during the Jewish Revolt in 67, which resulted in the destruction of the Temple in 70. The Romans built the dam to contain run-off water when the attacked Masada for two years prior to the killing of the Jewish Zealots that defended it. There was a steady stream of Roman soldiers and slaves who marched along the Western shores of the Dead Sea to Masada, where they built the ramp and seige machines which pierced the 20 foot walls that were constructed at the top of Masada.

Wadi hakippah
Wadi Hakipah is a site associated with the discovery of the Copper Scroll in 1952, which described the location of a hidden treasure from the Temple of Jerusalem.
The scroll mentioned that a second scroll contained the measurements needed to find 64 hiding places for the treasure, and it was believed this second scroll was buried near the site of Qumran, which is known in Arabic as Wadi Hakipah.
This has led to ongoing archaeological interest and speculation about the treasure’s location.
A documentary titled QUMRAN: A LA RECHERCHE DU TRÉSOR DE WADI HAKIPAH followed an international team of researchers in their search for the hidden chamber and the scroll.
