The community of people who wrote, copied, and hid the Scrolls in caves lived in great anticipation of the end times and saw themselves as the forebears of a new kingdom to come. Instead, the community died out...and 2000 years passed before the discovery of the writing that would draw worldwide attention to the fascinating age in which they lived.
