- Dahoon 7y ago>The Dead Sea Scrolls in Israel are real Has it been confirmed by (non-israli/non-american/non-jewish) scientists?
- azernik 7y agoYes. Some of the original work was done in (pre-occupation) East Jerusalem, and a good chunk of the fragments are in Jordan today. A lot of the early work was done by Americans, but that's more because it was the immediate post-war period and that's who had money and access at the time; if they were found any earlier it would have likely been Brits taking the initial look.
