From National Geographic:
The recent decoding of a cryptic cup, the excavation of ancient Jerusalemtunnels, and other archaeological detective work may help solve one of the great biblical mysteries: Who wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls?
The new clues hint that the scrolls, which include some of the oldest known biblical documents, may have been the textual treasures of several groups, hidden away during wartime—and may even be “the great treasure from the Jerusalem Temple,” which held the Ark of the Covenant, according to the Bible.

After The Gospel of Judas and The Tomb of Jesus, National Geographic has zero credibility in such matters. The only thing about the story that interests me is the fact that it’s not appearing just before a major Christian holy day.

John,
That’s because nothing in the story contradicts christianity.
But it’s always fun to read about this rather fascinating period in the history of judaism and christianity.
