Not Just One Group
Writing the Dead Sea Scrolls, a program by National Geographic, explores his idea. Was it really just one sect that wrote these important documents? In it, an archaeologist by the name of Robert Cargill shared, “Jews wrote the Scrolls, but it may not have been just one specific group. It could have been groups of different Jews.”
After The Siege
Based on his recent research, Cargill has come to the conclusion that a different team of authors helped write the Dead Sea Scrolls. His theory is that they fled after the Roman besieged the Temple of Jerusalem. After fleeing the burning structure, they must have added more information to the documents. There are people who do not buy it, however.
