The Dead Sea scrolls are the oldest group of Old testament manuscripts ever found.

Between 1947 and 1956, in caves near the ancient ruins of Khirbet Qumran on the northwest shore of the Dead Sea, a collection of 972 texts from the Hebrew Bible were discovered. These fragmented texts were stored in jars and have become known as the Dead Sea Scrolls.  With the exception of  the use of Paleo-Hebrew written on a few scrolls, Hebrew with Assyrian Block script was used to write the majority of the scrolls.

One of the scrolls is made from copper, the majority are on parchment (animal skins) and a few are on papyrus. 

The Copper Scroll is not a religious scroll. Most of its vocabulary is not found in the ancient Hebrew texts found in religious writings.  Through careful examination it was discovered that the Copper Scroll was describing vast quantities of silver and gold and many coins and vessels. However, since the scroll is written in ancient non-religious Hebrew the exact hiding place of this treasure has not been determined.
