The Dead Sea is famous for a lot of things. Number one, it's potent mineral content, it being the lowest place on earth, and also is famous for having the Dead Sea scrolls found by it. After seeing getting a literal taste of its mineral content and seeing the below sea level signs, we went to see its third famous object, the scrolls. They were found by a group of bestowing kids messing around, threw a rock into a cave, heard pottery crack, found some scrolls, and then took it into town to sell for money. They were sold but not on the fact that they were ancient pieces of scripture, but on the fact that they would make good burning supplies. An archeologist happened to be in Bethlehem at that time, stumbled upon the scrolls, realizes their importance, finds the boy, searches the other caves, and the Dead Sea Scrolls are revealed.
