The Real Qumran

The place that is visited by tourist which is called Qumran is where they found remains of dwelling and evidence of a small community of some sort.

But the stone structure in this picture which is about two kilometers north of that, is where they found the dead sea scrolls. And the story of this pile of rock did not end with the scrolls. through interpretation of the scroll was found among these rocks the remains of the anointing oil and the incense which were used in the holy temple.

And as was believed by the late archaeologist Vendyl Jones, may be the place that the arch of the covenant is buried.
