Israel's Desert Attractions: Qumron Caves

In 1947, a Bedouin goat herder hurled a rock into one of the Qumran caves near the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea to chase out a goat that had wandered in, heard something shatter, and entered to discover the clay jars containing the Dead Sea Scrolls. Ensuing archaeological expeditions discovered ~1,000 ancient texts, about 40% of which were manuscripts of the Old Testament, including every book except Esther.

As expected, no New Testament books were found since the Dead Sea Scroll predate the New Testament era. (In the center of the photo above is the entrance to cave #4, the most famous of the eleven Qumran caves, as it yielded the highest number of those ancient texts, including Old Testament scrolls.)
