Soil samples yielded the desiccated eggs of human intestinal parasites.... ...along with torn pages from an ancient, soiled, Sears catalog.

Two archaeological sleuths had reasons to suspect this may have been Qumrans toilet......... and that they probably wrote the Dead Sea scrolls Isn't this a bit of a stretch?

The Qumran latrine, some 1,000 yards away, seemed to comply.
One thing's for sure, whoever wrote that requirement didn't have a prostate problem.

The Qumran latrine, some 1,000 yards away, seemed to comply. 1/2mile+ walk to the toilet. I hope the Essenes were regular.

evidence supporting the controversial view that Qumran was occupied by an ascetic Jewish sect, the EssenesI didn't know that was controversial - I thought it was pretty well accepted fact.

My brother is an acrchaeologist and one of his colleagues specializes in fossillized...um...the end result of what people ate. It's a recognized specialty.

Archaeologists, it seems, will dig anything, even latrines.'
What an incredible smell youve discovered!

Two of the scrolls refer to a requirement that latrines be northwest of the city and not visible from the city. The Qumran latrine, some 1,000 yards away, seemed to comply.Oxtering challenge ping.
