The Dead Sea Scrolls // Ancient History Documentary 

History Time, . I really enjoy your videos and this one was no different. was great history lesson of the period the scrolls were thought to be written but had very little to do with the discovery in Qumran. Consider retitling the video. This video would make a great part 1 of it Dead Sea Scrolls series maybe the next part would be an investigation into the controversy surrounding the Scrolls and maybe a third part about the Scrolls themselves. :)

What about the early era after the roman withdrawal from britain...you totally forgot...

I was quite fascinated during my 45 minute drive. I arrived In the city of Norwich(hometown of Benedict Arnold btw). Sons of light was really awesome. First time hearing about them. I guess that makes me A normie but watever 🍺

Much respect and appreciation for all your work.

@@dannyalex5866 I assure you I didn't forget about the Roman withdrawal from Britain...

Dude this stuff is just cheaply copied from The History Channel, not up to their normal standards at all, this is stuff everyone knew at least as a theory a good sixty years ago.

The history channel doesn't even do history anymore, so iys kind of unfair lol

@F**K t-RumP I wonder if you will ever become an adult.

Nice toy tanks

Its bs... doesn't uncover nothing

You mean you don't like learning about the aliens that built the pyramids??

Erica Braud lol...naw man..lol

Indeed brother. The history channel has become very watered down. Thankfully there are alot of good documentaries being made by other scholars who still care for the art of documentaries

@@anthonytamilio9501 and the "art" of truthful reporting

Lol...🤣

Yes. TV seldom does this anymore. I still have the book. History for all of us.

Agreed, again speaking as a Christian, the Dead Sea scrolls are absolutely fascinating. These scrolls are about as close as we’ll get to original sources on the matter so the contents within should be considered as serious as any other part of the Bible imo. None of what I heard so far could be deemed in my eyes as “controversial,” maybe I just missed the memo at service of something…

It’s great isn’t it like it says above you it’s putting the history channel to shame

Excellent presentation of History, agree with your top comment. One man show, truly talented! Greatly appreciated.

Anyone here read the book of Enoch? Definitely a good read for any Christian

All the knowledge and art destroyed,could’ve explain a lot of misconceptions in history.

I grieve the amount of knowledge lost....

ALEXANDRIA EGYPT was but ONE of the Large Libraries Alexander the Great had built in Every Nation he conquered. Paul the Apostle writes for times about the STOA The Greek words this word is in are phrases a series of words. The STOA was from Athens it is sometimes translated COLONNADE to this day Courts Government Buildings are built after the pattern of the Stoa but these were only part of an entire pack of government, Judicial, Each had a LIBRARY filled with the writings of Greek philosophers w Each had a Theater showing Greek plays, Each had a Hippodrome a giant over sports arena. The Purpose of the stoa was to HELLENIZE every greek nation conquered and the world was Hellenized. Caesar Augustus saw the Power of the Stoa and Romanized it and put it in every nation they conquered and the world became Greeko/Romanized. These Libraries were all around the Mediterranean and the Mother Library was in Athens. No one speaks of this at all. And under Caesar Augustus There would have been a MASTER LIBRARY IN ROME. Rome was sacked twice and then Mohammed went around the Mediterranean and destroyed all these libraries one by one burning all the scrolls and stealing some that were later sold. Or used for teaching example: medicine. This Giant Library under the Vatican in 17 miles of tunnels filled with shelves would be the master Library from Rome. In the Desert in the area of Libya THAT WAS CONQUERED BY ROME half buried in sand is a lost city that has a giant library. filled with scrolls that are slowly turning to dust. there are videos of this but no company has gone in to catalog these No archaeologists have taken any interest. And then there is the LOST LIBRARY of Alexandria the mother of them all NOT A WORD has ever been said or written of this Library The Stoa was a package of government education with a Gymnasium that was the Greek word for collage.it had sports but it was primarily a collage, the stoa had theater and the arts. it had sports so this package what to convert the entire population to be Hellenistic Greeks and it worked Sort of like Television in the 1960's in the book The Media they write and boast how they altered opinions on dozens of things that were societal norms before. The TV is the ultimate little Stoa. The internet is too unfocused today as it is everything in the world

It actually does quite the opposite of destroying bc the evidence strengthens the origins of Christianity. Notice how the documentary didn't go into what's inside the scrolls, even though they've been translated for years? Like how the beginning of the Gospel of Mark 1:1-4 are the same as 1QS6:12-16 or Matthew 11:2-4 being the same as 4Q521:1,6,11-13 or Mark 10:45 correlating with the Damascus document and so much more. Would you like to explain the 'evidences' you are talking about? Because this topic is a debate and not conclusive by any measure and to say the latter is bias and irresponsible for a 'History lover'.

@@changed9047 There is no "so much more." There is only a handful of similarities between some of the scrolls and the Gospels which made all sorts of pseudo-scientists and conspiracy theorists claim that the Qumran group were pre-Christians or early Christians. They were not. There are a lot more differences than similarities. All Jewish religious groups of that time shared some similarities. There are more similarities between the Gospels and Pharisee doctrine than between the Dead Sea scrolls and the Gospels.

Care to give some examples? Bc I can go on all day in why and how the latter holds ‘more’ water. If we are looking at it from a non pseudo science perspective, I’d say the evidence clearly leans in support of my initial interpretation rather yours.

@@changed9047 The Gospels have myriad of quotes from the Hebrew bible, Deuteronomy extensively, also Proverbs and the Prophets. Besides, Jesus refers to the Oral Law as mandatory which was at that time upheld only by the pharisee group and was written down a few hundred years later. So clearly he knew it and observed it. See Matt 23: 3 (“do and observe everything they [the scribes and Pharisees] command you”)and read here: www.jerusalemperspective.com/2022/ and here: www.jerusalemperspective.com/5604/ If this doesn't prove that Jesus and his followers were pharisee or at least a pharisee splinter group, there is even less proof (or none whatsoever, to be exact) that Qumran community and the Christians were one and the same. No serious scholar believes that.

@@changed9047 So this proves that the origins of Christianity is in Judaism, particularly the version that became known as rabbinic Judaism later, and less so in other Jewish schools of thought of he 1st century. I believe that most modern Christian authorities agree with that.

Amen. 🙏

@Phrnch Mdl Jewish communities in a nearby ruin cared for the area and they would store them in surrounding caves or hollowed out tombs. Feel free to tour the region around Jerusalem, there was one two years ago that was amazing, it showed some ruins and caves where other texts have been found (obviously not up close due to excavations). But those are just the most complete from the Hellenic integration period. You don't have to believe what's in them, but don't be ignorant.

​​@@GbobUrite1 Corinthians 15:1-4 [1]Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; [2]By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. [3]For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; [4]And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Romans 10:8-9 [8]But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; [9]That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

@@GbobUrite I feel you. I'd like to call myself a Christian because I follow his teachings, but I don't belong to any churches. I call God by his name, Jehovah, but I'm not a Jehovah Witness. So, what I've been doing is to pray to Jehovah with the guidance from Jesus. i do a lot of research about God and the Bible and the things that I learn just further strengthen my faith. I'm a sole believer on an tiny island of my own belief.

Hadn't made the comparison until reading your remark. Very much agree. History Time documentaries are not kept interesting through filler & drama but with actual history & effective narration.

It's still kind of dramatic for me, and that's my main issue with this channel. I prefer even more right-to-the-business approach, that many RU-vid channels actually have. Still, here we can explore in-depth some pretty unexpected and obscure topics, which makes History Time so valuable.

it's not a documentary: it's a collection of arbitrary statements about the Dead Sea scrolls that are intended at denigrating the origins of Christianity

@@silveriorebelo8045 He goes into all the information the Dead Sea scrolls contain and gives context to said information. Also whether it denigrates the origins of Christianity is your opinion. It's true that the connection between the scrolls and Christianity is based on speculation but that is just the interresting and mysterious allure of the origins of Christianity.

If interested...Rothman, quoted earlier, said...''All that was known in Mesopotamia came from Armenia and that Armenia is the absent fragment in the entire mosaic of the ancient world's civilization's construction. what some historians say...H.V. Hilprecht(1859-1925) a Clark research professor of Assyriology and scientific director Babylonian expedition at the University of Penn. argue that the Hittite tongue is Armenian and the Hittites themselves were of Armenian stock...according to Ellis (1861) through language analysis we observe that under the names of Phrygians, Thracians,Pelasgians and Etruscans spread westward from Armenia to Italy and Elis claimed that the closest affinities of the Aryan element are the Armenians ..other historians that agree are..Hellenthal, Busgy, Brand, Wilson, Myers and Falush...let me quote Merrick (2012) All religions are descended from and ancient Vedic cosmology described in the Rib - Veda, originating in Armenia near Mt. Ararat at least 6800 ys ago and the basic concepts of a transcendental mountain extending into space and populated planet Star-gods were developed...he further says...This Astrotheology then migrated with Armenian Aryans to found the Sumerian Ethiopian/Egyptian and Indian civilizations and religions...from Language as a fingerprint Setyan..

@@milodebouzidi7425 Jesus is the Son of God and part of the Holy Trinity. Of course I worship God. The Father, Son and the Holy Spirit are a Trinity. I know it’s confusing to us with finite minds. Jesus died on the cross for all of our sins and paid the ultimate price and gave Himself as a Sacrifice so we can all know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we’re forgiven by grace through faith. Accepting Christ as Savior is the ultimate worship of God because “For God so loved the world (that means you and me and everyone else) sent His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall have eternal life. “ (John 3:16) Jesus knew no sin but He became sin for you and I.

@@southernsunshine1149 Can you hear Zakir Naik?

Thanks. Appreciate it.

@Ναζωραῖος Maybe we can all agree.... that Christianity was certainly not created by a supernatural figure. Therefore, it is hard for many if us to treat it as a legitimate story of a creator and his temporarily Earthly son/essence.

@D C Watch a video on yt by steven bancarz, called is Jesus a pagan knock off or something like that, very interesting.

Only those whose intention is to disbelieve in a Creator will choose to dismiss actual historical events. The "believers" at the beginning were indeed persecuted and killed. Only after the true doctrines were watered down and incorporated into pagan Roman worship was "Christianity" accepted and promoted. But you see, it was NOT Christianity. It was a religion of paganism and tradition. Are these things Biblical ? --- Christmas, Easter, worship of the sun on sunday, calling a man the "holy father", ( the pope, of the satanic religion of Rome , ) No, none of those things are in the writings of the Dead Sea Scrolls OR the early writings and manuscripts of the followers of the truth in the first or second centuries. In other words, today's Christianity is not based on the Bible.

@@geezermann7865 But what exactly does it matter? Reminds me of 2 bald guys arguing over a comb. All religions seem to evolve and split off, changing over a period of time until you hit the point where it is hard to see the connections between the former and the latter. And the result usually ends up with wars being fought, atrocities committed. lots of folks dying, sometimes torturous deaths all in the name of some god or gods. The main real benefit of these religions seems to be assisting with population control on the planet earth. I guess we can thank them for that. Your claim that today's Christianity is not based on the Bible, heck the "authorities" can't not even get together on what the Bible really says. This Bible seems to sew discord and division when anyone attempts to take it seriously and ask for the Holy Spirit to reveal "truth" to them. I am not singling out Christianity.. make no mistake... it just seems all 3 of the Abrahamic faiths cant even get their act together amongst themselves with so many sects and sub-sects insisting "they' have the right understanding and any other interpretation is more or less deserving of death. Heck.. how long did "Christians" argue with one another concerning whether Adam/Eve had belly buttons? Have they settled that yet? Evidently "God" really sucks at communication skills. Now with that out of the way I wish to sincerely thank HISTORY TIME for such a well written and directed video that anyone (like me).. who is interested in religion/history in general can appreciate. I have yet to find a better source of accurate information from any other vids. I have never seen you attempt to slant your productions or sensationalize in order to get a boost in your ratings... your are a "just the facts" kind of historian and that is a rare find these days. Kudos!
