The Long Lost Wisdom of The Qumran Essenes | Naked Archaeologist | Parable 

I love The Naked Archaeologist. His reverence for the various religions is evident but I also love the healthy skepticism that is also evident in his work and his questions.

Jesus is Teacher of Righteousness!

Anyone who is interested in the Essenes & in the Qumran Community needs to look into Dr Ken Johnson’s work which is ongoing even now. The Essenes actually called their community “Damascus”. The YT channel is “Ken Johnson”. The actual library that was found at Qumran has been highly censored until recently. We are just now getting the real scoop. The Essenes were a popular movement in Israel. Very respected by the people. The Qumran community wasn’t all the Essenes. The actual Zadok lineage of Priests & those Priests & Levites who supported them stayed in Qumran for periods of time. Menachim (who is mentioned in both the Talmud & the Book of Acts) was an Essenes Leader. He was also one of the two leaders of the Sanhedrin. Essenes means “healers”. They were famous for their healing knowledge & abilities. They tended to live much longer than other people of their age. From their writings, we know exactly what happened to them.

My first thought was, "I didn't know Qumran used to be a thick hardwood forest!" Which it would have to have been, to fire pottery for a factory! Olive oil doesn't heat kilns to the temperature necessary -- 2400 F. And why in the world would you clean clay? You dig it out, mix it with sand, hair, straw with a little water to help mix it -- but not too much because you want it to dry. I make clay bricks, clay ovens, etc., and have never, ever washed the clay. But anyway, to get to the required temperature takes a good 12 hours of feeding the fire for a kiln the size of a couple refrigerators. By the way -- where were the kilns?

Your posts always manage to inspire. Bless you

Right so thankfully the presenter agreed with me. The other fact that I know is that both Yeshua and his cousin John (the baptist) were taught at Qumran by the essenes because Yeshua’s (wrongly translated to Jesus) parents were both also essenes. Therefore they both acquired a massive range of teaching that would have made them both the equivalent today of Doctors and thus experts within their fields. They were taught things like mathematics, astronomy, astrology, medicine, healing, meditation and the older texts. Both John and Yeshua came from a very big family and Yeshua had brothers and sisters. He was not an only child. Plus he traveled extensively in between his studies with his uncle and mother to other countries. Including what we now know is the United Kingdom. Why? Because his uncle bought tin from the tin mines in Cornwall in the United Kingdom and sold it to the romans. He is uncle, who only gets one mention in the bible was a very wealthy man. His sister was Mary, Yeshua’s mother.

If wisdom is 'long lost' then by definition was not useful to survival

Your work is great! You should definitely do a piece on Mandeans, an existing group on the brink of extinction. Contact me if it is interesting for further investigation.

No wonder the scrolls exactly align with the canon. Nevermind James Taber showed up with his outhouse knowledge.

Pierce Morgan has a way of cutting into conversations with these questions to end that discussion

re what I think as the very weak argument for claiming Qumran was only a pottery - Has anyone compared the makeup of the jars the Scrolls were found in to the pottery material in the caves? Or has anyone proffered that the Qumran inhabitants obviously used pottery for pots, dishes, cups etc - and since there was no Walmart down the road - then would it not be reasonable to suspect they made their own pottery?

Plz do a show about the lost books of the Hebrew prophets such as Book of Nathan, shamaiah, Iddo, Acts of Solomon, etc where are they, do they exist?

Very cool..thanks for sharing

There is another video in this list that states that the Essenes were not allowed to defecate on the Shabbat...which supports the theory about why they didn't have a big meal on Friday evening Shabbat Seder.

Topic is always interesting.

4:39 - That "rebirth" was "known about in advance"(as was the "death"). So, "These Events" being "known about" could and SHOULD "make more sense" than them being "miraculous events".

Baruk Haba Bashem YAHUWAH RAPHA NISSI ELOHAI TSEVA’OTH!!!!! Shalom Mishpacha.

To write their texts in those buildings, as claimed, they would need torches to light the place. Where is the evidence of torch marks on the internal walls??

That was Great!

THIS IS WHY I WATCH!!!

15:34 Um, question: if you can't go 1,000 paces from the city walls on the Sabbath, but your latrine has to be 2,000 paces away, what would you do on the Sabbath?

The scrolls in the display cases are replicas.

I personally do not believe in coincidences. Too many things have happened🙏🙏🙏

Did their pottery match the composition of he ancient pottery?

No. It was the essenes that wrote the scrolls. People need to do their homework and research properly.

15:31 so you couldnt't go to the bathroom on the Sabbath?

Why couldn't some of the community of Essenes have been potters? Someone in the community had to feed the scholars.

Someone had to have wanted to save the library of Jerusalem when they knew they were being besieged and attacked. They knew they had to save all the writings. I would imagine they sent people out of Jerusalem with the library or as much as the person(s)could carry or put on a donkey or something but I wouldn’t imagine that they ended up 3 minutes from the Essenes..?🤷🏻‍♀️ Just thinking 💭….

where is the pottery kilens ?

Ok, now that you click bait this video. Where is the wisdom in all of this?

Could have made pottery, been pure and essean.

The "Essenes" were a group of Kabalistic, Mystical (Egyptian School) Gnostic Jews, who lived in Ein Gedi, NOT Bethabara (Qumran)! The True High Priests (Sons of Zadok) lived at the Commune in Bethabara (having been exiled there by the 'Hasmonean Pharisaical Priests' at Jerusalem). Zacharias (Zechariah), Father of John the Baptist, was there, and Yeshua (Yahusha, Jesus Christ) was baptized there, and likely spent time there during His early Years. Josephus WAS trained by the Ein Gedi Essenes; however, he was NOT trained by the "Sons of Zadok Priests" (who were the rightful Heirs to the Jerusalem Priesthood).

No it's not called Qumran, it's Betha bara and no the ppl living there we're Essene they were the son of Zadok they were the exile Levi temple Priest the real TEMPLE PRIEST

Natsarim were the early followers of the way , Not Christians.

Zionism hence political archeology all weaved together to support the former claim. The Essenes however do seem to have genuine dedication for independent worship away from the hellenized Greco Roman influence.

The Summarians ! The Noah story is copied from them !😉

We all know about the scrolls however

Rightousness is Psalms 1.

Can nobody write a readable sentence anymore? All these thoughts and theories, yet no commas or punctuation so a reader can understand what the heck anyone is saying. Grrr!

And the essenes were never in qumaran

The dead sea scrolls are prove forgeries by the very museum that houses them

☀️

You're not a Jew unless you are of the tribe of Judah..that's a fact. Yahshua calls the people there now, the synagogue of satan.

No it's not Qumran it's Betha bara and no the ppl living there wer

I did not see too much wood down there for a pottery.. Climate change?

this is very simple-every religous community needs a way to make a living to get the supplies they need-we see that even today with self-supporting religious communities-they obviously made pottery to sell in Jerusalem-duh!!!!!

To suggest that God arranged for a shepard boy to stumble on the Dead Sea Scrolls at the moment of the founding of the Israeli state is nuts. More contrivance. How silly.

Jesus is God manifest. Check Ron Wyatt

I wanna visit Israel one day 😁😁😁

Qumran is in Palestine, not Israel
