The Dead Sea Scrolls
After the Six Day War in 1967, now all of Jerusalem is in Israeli hands. The Dead Sea Scrolls are considered possibly the most important archeological find of the 20th century. In 1947, Bedouin man herding goats in the hills to the west of the Dead Sea entered a cave near Wadi Komeran and stumbled on clay jars filled with leather scrolls. Ten more caves were discovered in the next ten years containing tens of thousands of fragments belonging to over 900 scrolls.
