Amazing discovery with new Dead Sea Scrolls cave found

By Buzz60

Archaeologists believe they have made another major discovery involving the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Hebrew University has found what it believes to be the 12th cave that once contained the historic documents.

College staffers found broken jars and clothe that they say was used to hold the scrolls in a cave located in the West Bank, near the Dead Sea.

Archaeologists report the documents are likely to date back thousands of years. Unfortunately, experts believe the scrolls were stolen in the 1800's.

University officials say the discovery is a milestone because they previously believed only 11 caves existed with the last one found 60 years ago.

Historians are asking the Israeli government to search more caves as more scrolls could exist, but time is running out because the documents are at risk of getting stolen!
