The Dead Sea Scrolls, discovered from 1947 near the Dead Sea, are among the most important ancient manuscripts ever found — 2,000-year-old copies of biblical and sectarian texts. Jordan holds a significant share, including the rare copper scroll found in Cave 3 in 1952.
The Jordan Museum in Amman displays selected scrolls. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan visit them easily, and full package tours to Jordan include the museum alongside the Dead Sea sites that produced the finds.
