Epic Archaeology | Monocle & Spade #2 - The Destruction of the Jerusalem Temple and the Copper Scroll @epicarchaeology7437 | Uploaded 5 years ago | Updated 18 minutes ago
It is well documented in history and archaeology that in AD 70 the Roman Legions under Titus & Vespasian laid siege to Jerusalem and destroyed it along with the gleaming Jewish Temple that Herod I had built on the expanded Temple Mount. In 1948 the Dead Sea scrolls were discovered in the Judean desert at Wadi Qumran near the ancient archaeological site of Qumran (believed to be the home of the Jewish sect of the Essenes). In 1952 two rolled up copper scrolls were discovered in Cave 3 at Qumran. In this episode Ted interviews Shelley Neese, a journalist who has lived and worked in Israel and is also the author of the book, "The Copper Scroll Project." Don't miss this fascinating interview to learn what the Copper Scroll is and the possibility that amazing artifacts from the Second Temple Period may be buried in the ground right at the site Qumran itself!
