Hey guys. Goes without saying this is a controversial subject. I don't follow any organised religion myself but I'm fascinated by religion as a concept. Let's keep it civil in the comments please. I'm a one man team and this took a ridiculous amount of time to make. Please like and comment if you enjoyed it & by all means let me know in the comments if you didn't. Back to Early Medieval Britain next week. Watch my latest history documentary here:- ruclips.net/video/c3Hq6UaFQqk/видео.html
History Time, . I really enjoy your videos and this one was no different. was great history lesson of the period the scrolls were thought to be written but had very little to do with the discovery in Qumran. Consider retitling the video. This video would make a great part 1 of it Dead Sea Scrolls series maybe the next part would be an investigation into the controversy surrounding the Scrolls and maybe a third part about the Scrolls themselves. :)
I was quite fascinated during my 45 minute drive. I arrived In the city of Norwich(hometown of Benedict Arnold btw). Sons of light was really awesome. First time hearing about them. I guess that makes me A normie but watever 🍺
Dude this stuff is just cheaply copied from The History Channel, not up to their normal standards at all, this is stuff everyone knew at least as a theory a good sixty years ago.
Indeed brother. The history channel has become very watered down. Thankfully there are alot of good documentaries being made by other scholars who still care for the art of documentaries
I thought you must’ve been part of some big documentary production company with all sorts of resources to make this. However I’ve seen your pinned comment just now that reveals you’re just a one-man crew. 😮. This documentary is outstanding. There should be global RUclips awards for this kind of production.
I know you made this 2 years ago but I just wanted to say that you do a brilliant job. Also regarding your top pinned comment, as a Christian myself I found none of what you had said offensive at all. For when it comes to history being objective while also open minded is key to discovering/revealing truth and exciting information. Your videos are Better than a movie, thanks for all you do.
Agreed, again speaking as a Christian, the Dead Sea scrolls are absolutely fascinating. These scrolls are about as close as we’ll get to original sources on the matter so the contents within should be considered as serious as any other part of the Bible imo. None of what I heard so far could be deemed in my eyes as “controversial,” maybe I just missed the memo at service of something…
ALEXANDRIA EGYPT was but ONE of the Large Libraries Alexander the Great had built in Every Nation he conquered. Paul the Apostle writes for times about the STOA The Greek words this word is in are phrases a series of words. The STOA was from Athens it is sometimes translated COLONNADE to this day Courts Government Buildings are built after the pattern of the Stoa but these were only part of an entire pack of government, Judicial, Each had a LIBRARY filled with the writings of Greek philosophers w Each had a Theater showing Greek plays, Each had a Hippodrome a giant over sports arena. The Purpose of the stoa was to HELLENIZE every greek nation conquered and the world was Hellenized. Caesar Augustus saw the Power of the Stoa and Romanized it and put it in every nation they conquered and the world became Greeko/Romanized. These Libraries were all around the Mediterranean and the Mother Library was in Athens. No one speaks of this at all. And under Caesar Augustus There would have been a MASTER LIBRARY IN ROME. Rome was sacked twice and then Mohammed went around the Mediterranean and destroyed all these libraries one by one burning all the scrolls and stealing some that were later sold. Or used for teaching example: medicine. This Giant Library under the Vatican in 17 miles of tunnels filled with shelves would be the master Library from Rome. In the Desert in the area of Libya THAT WAS CONQUERED BY ROME half buried in sand is a lost city that has a giant library. filled with scrolls that are slowly turning to dust. there are videos of this but no company has gone in to catalog these No archaeologists have taken any interest. And then there is the LOST LIBRARY of Alexandria the mother of them all NOT A WORD has ever been said or written of this Library The Stoa was a package of government education with a Gymnasium that was the Greek word for collage.it had sports but it was primarily a collage, the stoa had theater and the arts. it had sports so this package what to convert the entire population to be Hellenistic Greeks and it worked Sort of like Television in the 1960's in the book The Media they write and boast how they altered opinions on dozens of things that were societal norms before. The TV is the ultimate little Stoa. The internet is too unfocused today as it is everything in the world
i'm a History lover through and through, but i can't help but see how unbiased is your narrative! The Dead Sea Scrolls are such sensitive yet eye opening/institution destroying evidences and yet you kept it strictly to the history, to it's origins and how it came to be. Highly informative and kept me engaged all throughout. Not seen such documentary presentation ever. Thank YOU!!
It actually does quite the opposite of destroying bc the evidence strengthens the origins of Christianity. Notice how the documentary didn't go into what's inside the scrolls, even though they've been translated for years? Like how the beginning of the Gospel of Mark 1:1-4 are the same as 1QS6:12-16 or Matthew 11:2-4 being the same as 4Q521:1,6,11-13 or Mark 10:45 correlating with the Damascus document and so much more. Would you like to explain the 'evidences' you are talking about? Because this topic is a debate and not conclusive by any measure and to say the latter is bias and irresponsible for a 'History lover'.
@@changed9047 There is no "so much more." There is only a handful of similarities between some of the scrolls and the Gospels which made all sorts of pseudo-scientists and conspiracy theorists claim that the Qumran group were pre-Christians or early Christians. They were not. There are a lot more differences than similarities. All Jewish religious groups of that time shared some similarities. There are more similarities between the Gospels and Pharisee doctrine than between the Dead Sea scrolls and the Gospels.
Care to give some examples? Bc I can go on all day in why and how the latter holds ‘more’ water. If we are looking at it from a non pseudo science perspective, I’d say the evidence clearly leans in support of my initial interpretation rather yours.
@@changed9047 The Gospels have myriad of quotes from the Hebrew bible, Deuteronomy extensively, also Proverbs and the Prophets. Besides, Jesus refers to the Oral Law as mandatory which was at that time upheld only by the pharisee group and was written down a few hundred years later. So clearly he knew it and observed it. See Matt 23: 3 (“do and observe everything they [the scribes and Pharisees] command you”)and read here: www.jerusalemperspective.com/2022/ and here: www.jerusalemperspective.com/5604/ If this doesn't prove that Jesus and his followers were pharisee or at least a pharisee splinter group, there is even less proof (or none whatsoever, to be exact) that Qumran community and the Christians were one and the same. No serious scholar believes that.
@@changed9047 So this proves that the origins of Christianity is in Judaism, particularly the version that became known as rabbinic Judaism later, and less so in other Jewish schools of thought of he 1st century. I believe that most modern Christian authorities agree with that.
@Phrnch Mdl Jewish communities in a nearby ruin cared for the area and they would store them in surrounding caves or hollowed out tombs. Feel free to tour the region around Jerusalem, there was one two years ago that was amazing, it showed some ruins and caves where other texts have been found (obviously not up close due to excavations). But those are just the most complete from the Hellenic integration period. You don't have to believe what's in them, but don't be ignorant.
@Zezima Man you are trying real hard at this trolling thing huh? I'm sorry common, expressive language is so perplexing to you. I hope I used "I'm sorry" in the right context just now...
Only half way thru and I just have to pause to say this is one of the most informative documentaries I've ever watched. The epitome of what I search for in a good documentary. Bravo Zulu.
Hadn't made the comparison until reading your remark. Very much agree. History Time documentaries are not kept interesting through filler & drama but with actual history & effective narration.
It's still kind of dramatic for me, and that's my main issue with this channel. I prefer even more right-to-the-business approach, that many RUclips channels actually have. Still, here we can explore in-depth some pretty unexpected and obscure topics, which makes History Time so valuable.
it's not a documentary: it's a collection of arbitrary statements about the Dead Sea scrolls that are intended at denigrating the origins of Christianity
@@silveriorebelo8045 He goes into all the information the Dead Sea scrolls contain and gives context to said information. Also whether it denigrates the origins of Christianity is your opinion. It's true that the connection between the scrolls and Christianity is based on speculation but that is just the interresting and mysterious allure of the origins of Christianity.
Fascinating, I traveled around the world in 1964 before air conditioning, age 15 with my mother and three siblings. I feel so lucky to have seen the world. Loved Egypt, Israel, Masada, Athens, India, Japan, Thailand, then to Europe Portugal, España, Greece. Changed my life and I am still traveling.
You are lucky, I've only seen Greece , thialand, and a few islands, which was amazing . I could only imagine seeing what you have seen. You are blessed.
My Grandfather was a minister. He’d have sermons during the day and have long debates about the Apocrypha with me at night. I think about him everyday...
@@mikehood3424 what you say doesn't make sense. Christian doctrine is based on the writings of Judaism (Torah, prophets, etc) known as the "Old Testament" and the early Christian writings, "New Testament"... I'm surprised you didn't know that
@@rumblerowdy5332 This what my bible says: Exodus 14:15 Context 12Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness. 13And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. 14The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. 15And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: 16But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. 17And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. 18And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
@@rumblerowdy5332 The High Priest and High King of Negro Israel Yahusha and the Apostle Luke in their own words: Luke 19:10 (AKJV) 10For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Fascinating! The 'wonder' I have ( as a believer, Catholic ) in the 'providence' of the timing and finding of these scrolls that give us a window into history is a marvel! Thank you for your work putting this together, the narration was great, so too the images. Very well done!
That ending sequence with the music legitimately gave me chills! Thanks for the documentary on these, I've been curious about the scrolls ever since I encountered them on wikipedia and I'm glad I found this video to get a deeper look into them.
What an historian you are. You are one of the best to relate happenings without the frills needed to attract viewers that are not really interested in the subject. I value your contribution to the public presented in an unbiased manner. Thank you. I forgot to commend you on you voice which is perfect for this type of videos.
If interested...Rothman, quoted earlier, said...''All that was known in Mesopotamia came from Armenia and that Armenia is the absent fragment in the entire mosaic of the ancient world's civilization's construction. what some historians say...H.V. Hilprecht(1859-1925) a Clark research professor of Assyriology and scientific director Babylonian expedition at the University of Penn. argue that the Hittite tongue is Armenian and the Hittites themselves were of Armenian stock...according to Ellis (1861) through language analysis we observe that under the names of Phrygians, Thracians,Pelasgians and Etruscans spread westward from Armenia to Italy and Elis claimed that the closest affinities of the Aryan element are the Armenians ..other historians that agree are..Hellenthal, Busgy, Brand, Wilson, Myers and Falush...let me quote Merrick (2012) All religions are descended from and ancient Vedic cosmology described in the Rib - Veda, originating in Armenia near Mt. Ararat at least 6800 ys ago and the basic concepts of a transcendental mountain extending into space and populated planet Star-gods were developed...he further says...This Astrotheology then migrated with Armenian Aryans to found the Sumerian Ethiopian/Egyptian and Indian civilizations and religions...from Language as a fingerprint Setyan..
Hey man, I just want to say that this felt like a high quality real documentary that should be on any network. Going to donate to your Patreon. Thanks again.

You did this with a very good touch of class. You walked the tightrope I think perfectly. You didn’t back up and you didn’t deny. Just a frank explanation. From a Christian I say thank you.
Absolutely riveting journey into history! 'The Dead Sea Scrolls // Ancient History Documentary' offers a captivating exploration into the mysteries of these ancient texts. The insights into the cultural and religious context are incredibly enriching. Kudos to the creators for delivering an informative and visually engaging documentary. A must-watch for anyone fascinated by the profound discoveries that continue to shape our understanding of the past.
I have been studying this subject for a while now, and this is the best, and most objective study/perspective of the Dead Sea Scrolls I have yet to encounter.
The quality of your videos is absolutely amazing. I learn more from one of them from dozens of melodramatic, noisy, sensationalized “professional” documentaries. You know what true professionalism is, quality, unbiased, accurate work, not big budgets.
Top notch content man. Packed full of information and wonderful visuals without getting lost in the weeds on alternative history or over dramatization. 10/10
I travelled recently to this places without knowing the entirety of its history and now learning from here makes my memories even brighter. Really well explained with real images from the places.
Very interesting. I’m a Christ follower. Not necessarily organized religion but a Believer. I always enjoy your history lessons and your voice. Thanks!
I do not understand why you worship Jesus, peace be upon him, and not God alone. Jesus is the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. He is the Messenger of God to people like Moses, Noah, Abraham, Ismail and Muhammad. Read and learn who God is. Do not be in the fire on the Day of Resurrection. Worship God .. Do not worship an image or an idol
@@milodebouzidi7425 Jesus is the Son of God and part of the Holy Trinity. Of course I worship God. The Father, Son and the Holy Spirit are a Trinity. I know it’s confusing to us with finite minds. Jesus died on the cross for all of our sins and paid the ultimate price and gave Himself as a Sacrifice so we can all know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we’re forgiven by grace through faith. Accepting Christ as Savior is the ultimate worship of God because “For God so loved the world (that means you and me and everyone else) sent His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall have eternal life. “ (John 3:16) Jesus knew no sin but He became sin for you and I. Blessings.
As a middle eastern Muslim by default, I find your documentaries so fascinating and so throughout!! I appreciate all of your efforts and amazing work you put into those videos man..bless you
Atleast the satisfaction in learning history from the past is here, where I believe the narrator is so deeply influenced by the knowledge of son of light. Thank you for your hard work. Amen.
Okay I absolutely love this. I've watched this video 3 times now because I'm enthralled by the story you tell. I'm no historian, I'm not religious, I'm frankly just trying to get some material for a D&D game and learn something along the way, or perhaps vice-versa. So, your illustrations and narration are top notch. The way you weave all this information together is beyond impressive. I do want to point out a very specific thing that I found immensely helpful: your dedication to annotations in the bottom left of the screen, with names, dates, tag lines, etc. Even (or especially) the repetition of those annotations. The fact that there's always some informative text at the bottom left to tie your words to is very very helpful to me in placing all this information in my head. Above all else though, thanks man. I'm hella inspired.
I'm a repeat watcher for his masterful treatment of history. Must say, I hadn't thought of this type of content applied to D&D. I'm betting you run some pretty fascinating gaming sessions. ✌️😎
Just found this channel. It’s great! Thanks for all your hard work and time to make these! You sounded like graham H a little when I first listened and then read you do it all yourself and was amazed. It’s wild how the big guys are losing to the newer and smaller channels and I like it!
Every time I hear a story about the Dead Sea Scrolls, the circumstances of their discovery changes. A shepherd looking for stray sheep threw a rock into the cave to scare any out, and heard the sound of pottery breaking, is the most prevalent.
@@GbobUrite1 Corinthians 15:1-4 [1]Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; [2]By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. [3]For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; [4]And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Romans 10:8-9 [8]But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; [9]That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
@@GbobUrite I feel you. I'd like to call myself a Christian because I follow his teachings, but I don't belong to any churches. I call God by his name, Jehovah, but I'm not a Jehovah Witness. So, what I've been doing is to pray to Jehovah with the guidance from Jesus. i do a lot of research about God and the Bible and the things that I learn just further strengthen my faith. I'm a sole believer on an tiny island of my own belief.
Bravo 👏🏻 This was by far the most interesting, informative and entertaining historical documentary Ihave seen. I was absolutely hypnotized from beginning to end. Thank you 😊 for your extraordinary work.
Wow! Much detail and much learned!!! You did a great job of weaving all the disparate elements of people, time, and place together to give us an historical context for these scrolls. They/and their curators, despite asceticism, seem to be surrounded by important events and movements. Thank you for putting this together. Awesome, enlightening content!!!💜🌟
Four years on I came across this fascinating documentary. The positive comments don't do it justice! Thank you so much, this is a timeless masterpiece which should be shown in all schools and universities. Somehow, I doubt it would be well received during these dark days of disinformation, but you can be certain one day the facts and evidence you put into it will be invaluable to those who are searching for the truth.
This is a great work and told very well. I recently did a masters thesis on the second temple period and found the history presented here very accurate.

Very well put together! I learned so much I’d never heard before. Love all the historical details leading up to the writing and discovery of the scrolls.
Well done and very informative! I am a Christian. I felt good about the things you presented. i would have tweaked a few things, but you did a great job!
Great, Great, Great documentary! One of the best I’ve seen! The Narrator is enjoyable and interesting to listen to. The story keeps you interested throughout the film. Superb editing! This is a must have video... Thank you for all you’ve done here.
EXCELLENT!!!! My parchwork understanding of the History of Judaism and its critical role in the development of Christianity was just pieced together Finally. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR AN EXCELLENT PIECE OF WORK!! God Bless.
No it doesn't. This documentary may be relatively correct historically, but it is totally flawed with regard to Judaism and Christianity as they relate to God.

Good job ... best presentation I've seen so far (even if I'm late to the Party by 2 years). Lived off/on in Israel for over 3 decades ... lived in Jerusalem, Yaffo, Neve Tzedic/TA, Caesarea ... not my field of Study but grew up in a Christian environment and a fellow Aerospace Engineer coworker and I did some work in Qumram back in the early 1990's. He noticed that during the 2 previous digs in the late 50's and early 60's, the Crews "parked" on the same flat, marl surface and never dug there. So we arranged to get hold of a lawnmower sized GPR unit (very "high tech' for the day) and scanned the parking area, coming up with around 11 "Targets" (depths 2-9 meters, various sizes). Very difficult to get permission from the IAA ... but we know they took it serious as they came in with their own Backhoe late one night and dug. We were never able to find out if anything was found ... literally "stonewalled" ... nor were we ever granted a permit to dig ourselves. But you can imagine how intriguing the subject is for me personally. Digs will continue and who knows what will eventually be found ... just look what has been uncovered in my previous little town of Caesarea ... all of which was under a "Parking Lot" as well until recently. Again, great video and sincere thanks !
I am a Christian and I want to thank you for this. I will re-watch this because it is so informative. I am a bible student and I recognize you have done an incredible amount of research to bring this to us. The Dead Sea Scrolls have always fascinated me and I regret I did not go to view them when they came on tour in the US. Again, thank you for this! God bless you!
Because then people might actually start asking questions and they don’t want that. Look up the anunnaki theory..it’s in the book of Enoch. I’m a Catholic Christian but I’ve come to believe that we were made by these beings…just way too much proof to ignore. The Bible is interpreted so wrong it’s not even funny. Be open minded and look into it..you might be shocked and start questioning a lot of things you were told or taught. One thing this crazy ass world of today has shown me is that you can’t believe ANYTHING that you’ve been told so do your own research and make an educated,gut feeling opinion on your own😊
because the contents would make a mockery of Christianity. That's why the Jesuits kept part of them secret for many years... and probably destroyed the bits they didn't like.
Bless those who found this extraodinary piece of history xx I hope they were rewarded or at least their names, village and culture acknowledged for being the 1st to find these!!!
Thanks for your thorough analysis, this was a great video! Coming from a Zoroastrian background, I've always been fascinated with the dualist and messianic aspects of some of the scrolls as well as the phrase, "sons of light." Great stuff man, thanks again for making this!

Very expertly produced; good accurate script and clear presentation with relevant and matching visuals (unlike some other RUclips videos!). John the Baptist must have lived in that low-lying area of the Jordan, not far from Qumran; there must’ve been a lot of people looking for the fulfilment of prophecies around that time.
And again you have impressed me young man. Every time I run across one of your vids you go beyond my expectations.

The references to turning the back to deaf and blind could relate to the spiritually deaf and blind referred to in the New testament? Love the channel great production values and research!
No they refer to it as what in the English language would call Sic, meaning exactly as is, the group was extreme even for THAT era and was mostly looked down upon from the extremely few sources we have, and once the 10th legion walks through the area we never hear from them again... Cough cough lol least I think it was the 10th
These ancient writers are no different from the hermits and monks of today who find solace in their world of spiritual literature and make believe away from the real world of chaos, conflict, boredom and repetition. Judging by the barren landscape this was a miserable place to live.
Its not that it "could be", but it IS directly related to all who are spiritually deaf and blind. Has nothing to do with physical disabilities. Jesus healed everyone with physical needs. Though this is directed solely to those that refuse to hear & see the truth of God's word. They are evil & we "Christ's true believers" are told to turn away from, kick the dust off our feet leaving them in their sin. 😔

The Dead Sea Scrolls were a significant discovery for two main reasons; 1) they demolished long held assertions that the Masoretic and Septuagint texts were recent creations and affirmed the rigid standards for the accuracy of textual transmission prior to the first century - and even much earlier. 2) they affirmed the authenticity of the New Testament as intrinsically Jewish via shared or similar prose, colloquialisms, Hebraisms, word plays, theology etc - all hiding in plain sight of the Greek manuscripts of the New Testament. Point number two SMASHES more recent conspiracy theories that the four canonical Gospels were written much later by non-Jewish Greco-Roman forgers. The gnostic gospels are in fact the later forgeries because in addition to the absence of any geographic references to first century Judea and the Galil, they lack the centrality of the intrinsic Jewishness of the four canonical Gospels.
this is true but there is still enough greco-roman content in the gospels (including passages that are either anachronistic or display the lack of knowledge of 1st century jewish culture) to suggest that they at least went through a later redaction by non-Jews.
OK - I'm an atheist and not particularly fond of blandly asserted historical "facts": but this Documentary has been a real eye-opener! it has held my attention from beginning to end with the dynamic magnetism of a superbly written mystery-thriller developing into a horror story. The photography, pertinence and narration are totally captivating and it has made, so much more of, the culture was I born into: make much more sense than it ever did before.

My undergraduate degree is in comparative religions, and included study of the recently discovered Qanrum Scripts. One of my professors was a biblical archaeologist, personally familiar with the texts. Thank you for your accurate nonjudgmental account of the documents in their historic context.
Voices of the past is you guys too? This channel and that are my two favourite channels yet I had no idea lol... you guys are so good - you remind of the very best of the BBC before it all went wrong lol...
No, really, it isn't at all amazing. How is it amazing that a book written 2500 years ago lists places that existed, or were known to have existed, 2500 years ago? Are Sumerian, Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian, ...etc writings amazing because they list places that existed when they were written? Would you say that about Shakespeare because places he describes exist? No, you wouldn't.

I have gotten hooked on this fabulous channel. So we’ll done and informative. Thank you for all the hard work you have done to produce these professional presentations.
Man I get so lost in all the rulers and different reigns. I’m glad I wasn’t around with all the different wars they fought. Still very great documentary. Probably the closest I’ve come to unscrambling it all
It's great to hear ancient history narrative by someone who, like myself, doesn't follow any organised religion and therefore has no personal religious agenda to promote.
Fantastic video with many facts, and glimpses into life during these times. It is not widely known that Jews and Christians freely intermingled back then....what a shame. Because of my schooling, I learned of this and thought to myself, "Of course, Christ was a Jew whom challenged that Pharisees so there must have been many cross-overs going both ways!" I enjoyed this video thoroughly and look forward to future accomplishments.
Wow! This presentation is absolutely amazing. You've answered many questions ive had about this timeline of history in a very logical, chronological manner. Full of information and connectivity. Thank you for you hard work. I look forward to future presentations where all controversial matters, on these histories of the region, are fully sorted out and presented. Bless

I really enjoy your videos and this one was no different. was great history lesson of the period the scrolls were thought to be written but had very little to do with the discovery in Qumran. Consider retitling the video. This video would make a great part 1 of it Dead Sea Scrolls series maybe the next part would be an investigation into the controversy surrounding the Scrolls and maybe a third part about the Scrolls themselves. :)

I know you made this 2 years ago but I just wanted to say that you do a brilliant job. Also regarding your top pinned comment, as a Christian myself I found none of what you had said offensive at all. For when it comes to history being objective while also open minded is key to discovering/revealing truth and exciting information. Your videos are Better than a movie, thanks for all you do.
Yes. TV seldom does this anymore. I still have the book. History for all of us.
Agreed, again speaking as a Christian, the Dead Sea scrolls are absolutely fascinating. These scrolls are about as close as we’ll get to original sources on the matter so the contents within should be considered as serious as any other part of the Bible imo. None of what I heard so far could be deemed in my eyes as “controversial,” maybe I just missed the memo at service of something…

Excellent presentation of History, agree with your top comment. One man show, truly talented! Greatly appreciated.
Anyone here read the book of Enoch? Definitely a good read for any Christian
Can you imagine what was lost in the great alexandria library...its unimaginable
All the knowledge and art destroyed,could’ve explain a lot of misconceptions in history.
I grieve the amount of knowledge lost....
ALEXANDRIA EGYPT was but ONE of the Large Libraries Alexander the Great had built in Every Nation he conquered. Paul the Apostle writes for times about the STOA The Greek words this word is in are phrases a series of words.
The STOA was from Athens it is sometimes translated COLONNADE to this day Courts Government Buildings are built after the pattern of the Stoa but these were only part of an entire pack of government, Judicial, Each had a LIBRARY filled with the writings of Greek philosophers w Each had a Theater showing Greek plays, Each had a Hippodrome a giant over sports arena.
The Purpose of the stoa was to HELLENIZE every greek nation conquered and the world was Hellenized.
Caesar Augustus saw the Power of the Stoa and Romanized it and put it in every nation they conquered and the world became Greeko/Romanized.
These Libraries were all around the Mediterranean and the Mother Library was in Athens. No one speaks of this at all. And under Caesar Augustus There would have been a MASTER LIBRARY IN ROME.
Rome was sacked twice and then Mohammed went around the Mediterranean and destroyed all these libraries one by one burning all the scrolls and stealing some that were later sold. Or used for teaching example: medicine.
This Giant Library under the Vatican in 17 miles of tunnels filled with shelves would be the master Library from Rome.
In the Desert in the area of Libya THAT WAS CONQUERED BY ROME half buried in sand is a lost city that has a giant library. filled with scrolls that are slowly turning to dust. there are videos of this but no company has gone in to catalog these No archaeologists have taken any interest.
And then there is the LOST LIBRARY of Alexandria the mother of them all NOT A WORD has ever been said or written of this Library
The Stoa was a package of government education with a Gymnasium that was the Greek word for collage.it had sports but it was primarily a collage, the stoa had theater and the arts. it had sports
so this package what to convert the entire population to be Hellenistic Greeks and it worked
Sort of like Television in the 1960's in the book The Media they write and boast how they altered opinions on dozens of things that were societal norms before.
The TV is the ultimate little Stoa. The internet is too unfocused today as it is everything in the world

i'm a History lover through and through, but i can't help but see how unbiased is your narrative! The Dead Sea Scrolls are such sensitive yet eye opening/institution destroying evidences and yet you kept it strictly to the history, to it's origins and how it came to be. Highly informative and kept me engaged all throughout. Not seen such documentary presentation ever. Thank YOU!!
It actually does quite the opposite of destroying bc the evidence strengthens the origins of Christianity. Notice how the documentary didn't go into what's inside the scrolls, even though they've been translated for years? Like how the beginning of the Gospel of Mark 1:1-4 are the same as 1QS6:12-16 or Matthew 11:2-4 being the same as 4Q521:1,6,11-13 or Mark 10:45 correlating with the Damascus document and so much more. Would you like to explain the 'evidences' you are talking about? Because this topic is a debate and not conclusive by any measure and to say the latter is bias and irresponsible for a 'History lover'.
@@changed9047 There is no "so much more." There is only a handful of similarities between some of the scrolls and the Gospels which made all sorts of pseudo-scientists and conspiracy theorists claim that the Qumran group were pre-Christians or early Christians. They were not. There are a lot more differences than similarities. All Jewish religious groups of that time shared some similarities. There are more similarities between the Gospels and Pharisee doctrine than between the Dead Sea scrolls and the Gospels.
Care to give some examples? Bc I can go on all day in why and how the latter holds ‘more’ water. If we are looking at it from a non pseudo science perspective, I’d say the evidence clearly leans in support of my initial interpretation rather yours.
@@changed9047 The Gospels have myriad of quotes from the Hebrew bible, Deuteronomy extensively, also Proverbs and the Prophets. Besides, Jesus refers to the Oral Law as mandatory which was at that time upheld only by the pharisee group and was written down a few hundred years later. So clearly he knew it and observed it. See Matt 23: 3 (“do and observe everything they [the scribes and Pharisees] command you”)and read here: www.jerusalemperspective.com/2022/ and here: www.jerusalemperspective.com/5604/
If this doesn't prove that Jesus and his followers were pharisee or at least a pharisee splinter group, there is even less proof (or none whatsoever, to be exact) that Qumran community and the Christians were one and the same. No serious scholar believes that.
@@changed9047 So this proves that the origins of Christianity is in Judaism, particularly the version that became known as rabbinic Judaism later, and less so in other Jewish schools of thought of he 1st century. I believe that most modern Christian authorities agree with that.
Fascinating discovery of the dead Sea Scrolls. The thought of them being hidden & preserved for thousands of years is simply Amazing in itself.

@Phrnch Mdl Jewish communities in a nearby ruin cared for the area and they would store them in surrounding caves or hollowed out tombs. Feel free to tour the region around Jerusalem, there was one two years ago that was amazing, it showed some ruins and caves where other texts have been found (obviously not up close due to excavations). But those are just the most complete from the Hellenic integration period. You don't have to believe what's in them, but don't be ignorant.

Bravo Zulu.
I really love your documentaries, whenever I watch a professionally made documentary there is so much filler and unnecessary dramatic editing.
Hadn't made the comparison until reading your remark. Very much agree. History Time documentaries are not kept interesting through filler & drama but with actual history & effective narration.
It's still kind of dramatic for me, and that's my main issue with this channel. I prefer even more right-to-the-business approach, that many RUclips channels actually have. Still, here we can explore in-depth some pretty unexpected and obscure topics, which makes History Time so valuable.
it's not a documentary: it's a collection of arbitrary statements about the Dead Sea scrolls that are intended at denigrating the origins of Christianity
@@silveriorebelo8045 He goes into all the information the Dead Sea scrolls contain and gives context to said information. Also whether it denigrates the origins of Christianity is your opinion. It's true that the connection between the scrolls and Christianity is based on speculation but that is just the interresting and mysterious allure of the origins of Christianity.

Jesus died on the cross for all of our sins and paid the ultimate price and gave Himself as a Sacrifice so we can all know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we’re forgiven by grace through faith. Accepting Christ as Savior is the ultimate worship of God because “For God so loved the world (that means you and me and everyone else) sent His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall have eternal life. “ (John 3:16) Jesus knew no sin but He became sin for you and I.

So, your illustrations and narration are top notch. The way you weave all this information together is beyond impressive. I do want to point out a very specific thing that I found immensely helpful: your dedication to annotations in the bottom left of the screen, with names, dates, tag lines, etc. Even (or especially) the repetition of those annotations. The fact that there's always some informative text at the bottom left to tie your words to is very very helpful to me in placing all this information in my head. Above all else though, thanks man.

This answers alot of my questions about the Jewish and Christian connection that I have always wondered ✝️
No it doesn't. This documentary may be relatively correct historically, but it is totally flawed with regard to Judaism and Christianity as they relate to God.
@@user39h2j8il how do you know what their questions were/are and if they were or weren’t answered?
@@user39h2j8il more amazing to me is the constant whitewashing. the jews depicted are lily white and we know the ancient jews are/were people of color. as a matter of fact ,the middle east is a new term. up until the 1980s the area was always known as northeast africa.
@@janethefriend-awakened33 African descendants are missing their own claim to fame. The first convert to christianity was of Ethiopian dark skin. So black people wanna be Muslim or black jews ...but yet it states clearly in the king james bible. That's huge
@tsrzq attitude eh
Amazing video, thank you for your effort. Enough material here to cover several seasons of full length episodes.
Good job ... best presentation I've seen so far (even if I'm late to the Party by 2 years). Lived off/on in Israel for over 3 decades ... lived in Jerusalem, Yaffo, Neve Tzedic/TA, Caesarea ... not my field of Study but grew up in a Christian environment and a fellow Aerospace Engineer coworker and I did some work in Qumram back in the early 1990's. He noticed that during the 2 previous digs in the late 50's and early 60's, the Crews "parked" on the same flat, marl surface and never dug there. So we arranged to get hold of a lawnmower sized GPR unit (very "high tech' for the day) and scanned the parking area, coming up with around 11 "Targets" (depths 2-9 meters, various sizes). Very difficult to get permission from the IAA ... but we know they took it serious as they came in with their own Backhoe late one night and dug. We were never able to find out if anything was found ... literally "stonewalled" ... nor were we ever granted a permit to dig ourselves. But you can imagine how intriguing the subject is for me personally. Digs will continue and who knows what will eventually be found ... just look what has been uncovered in my previous little town of Caesarea ... all of which was under a "Parking Lot" as well until recently. Again, great video and sincere thanks !
I am a Christian and I want to thank you for this. I will re-watch this because it is so informative. I am a bible student and I recognize you have done an incredible amount of research to bring this to us. The Dead Sea Scrolls have always fascinated me and I regret I did not go to view them when they came on tour in the US.
Again, thank you for this! God bless you!
I cannot understand how anyone can study the (entire) Bible, and remain a Christian.
@@JiveDadsonThat is your problem Your problem is with God.
@@loverofcalifornia3619 I don't believe in God.
@@JiveDadson Ok, I can accept that. Have a great evening.

How come none of the dead sea scroll documentaries never talk about the contents. Always just about where they were found and the terrain.
Because then people might actually start asking questions and they don’t want that. Look up the anunnaki theory..it’s in the book of Enoch. I’m a Catholic Christian but I’ve come to believe that we were made by these beings…just way too much proof to ignore. The Bible is interpreted so wrong it’s not even funny. Be open minded and look into it..you might be shocked and start questioning a lot of things you were told or taught. One thing this crazy ass world of today has shown me is that you can’t believe ANYTHING that you’ve been told so do your own research and make an educated,gut feeling opinion on your own😊
@@sammyjones2180 Somewhere along the way, Satan whispered things in your ear and you got deceived, hook line and sinker.
The almighty Jehovah God s name is revealed in those scrolls . They don't want you to know the divine name !!
because the contents would make a mockery of Christianity. That's why the Jesuits kept part of them secret for many years... and probably destroyed the bits they didn't like.
Bless those who found this extraodinary piece of history xx I hope they were rewarded or at least their names, village and culture acknowledged for being the 1st to find these!!!
Thanks for your thorough analysis, this was a great video! Coming from a Zoroastrian background, I've always been fascinated with the dualist and messianic aspects of some of the scrolls as well as the phrase, "sons of light." Great stuff man, thanks again for making this!
Dude! Awesome to see you hear. I just started watching your videos the other day and I was really impressed! You’re into all the same periods I am! I’d love to pick your brains some time about Zoroastrianism. Absolutely fascinating stuff. Thanks for watching l!
@@HistoryTime Thanks for the kind words, really appreciate it! Sure, I'd love to discuss Zoroastrianism/ancient Persian religion anytime! Shoot me an email whenever. Keep up the amazing work and looking forward to the next one!
@@HistorywithCy tip for you: the bible is loaded with prophesy, one man to watch here is Jonathan Cahn. Crucifixion of Jesus, the Messiah, in the old testament warmup: Look at Zechariah 12:10, Psalm 22, Isaiah 53 and Daniel 9 (70 sevens gives 30 AD, guess what happened that year)
Btw have a look at Ken Johnsons take on the scrolls ruclips.net/video/1T9nGQf-oSE/видео.html
Cahns a false teacher
@@ghostilox did a search on this and if a well read person like he comes out as teach america is the new Israel etc, he certainly is. I was unaware of that but it doesn't fit with what ive seen from him. What ive seen is mostly his unpacking of things and paralells from the bible to current world events. Thanks for warning though.
Little did they know that those scrolls are worth more than gold.
Man I’d trade em for gold in a heart beat
@@steven20653 yea I bet you would
only to brain - dead idiots!
@@steven20653 you can trade it for something that is worth more than gold. So you are a terrible decision maker hahaha
@@dannyboy4140 gold is a precious metal. Precious metals are worth money. Money buys and pays for things. Do believe my decision making is solid. But if you know of something better than money to trade these scrolls for, I would be interested to hear it.
Very expertly produced; good accurate script and clear presentation with relevant and matching visuals (unlike some other RUclips videos!). John the Baptist must have lived in that low-lying area of the Jordan, not far from Qumran; there must’ve been a lot of people looking for the fulfilment of prophecies around that time.
Excellent work. Your writing and narration are at the highest level. Thank you.
The craziest thing about heaven is probably going to be meeting people of the long lost ages
Yeah, it's a very crowded place... or maybe not. Most people will be rotten in hell. After all it's like a private club.
@@joandrex Private says some could never be there, but that is not the case. Make Jesus Lord and Savior, repent of your sins. Anyone can do that.
@@bcalvert321 it depends on your sect of Christianity. Not all believe that.
I prefer to visit historical sites where these people used to live or were buried. It is much more rewarding and it's real.
@@Æley-Cat Christians do.
And again you have impressed me young man. Every time I run across one of your vids you go beyond my expectations. And you will probably get some wars going on due to content... but that is really healthy as long as people remain civil . Thank you so much for the hard work you put in to your productions. ::STANDING OVATION::
I worship Christ. This is informative and awesome. Thanks for the painstaking effort you must have put into this! 🤗
You worship the son of Mary, yet he didn't know the hour. The creator is the all knowledgeable one.
@@cathalodiubhain5739 I Corinthians 1:10. Christendom Satan's counterfeit kingdom. He knows the truth more than we. John 8:44; James 2:19. Jesus was Jewish he fulfilled the Law. Matt 5:17,18; JC quoted Deuteronomy 6: 4,5. Mark 12:29 He acknowledged the only true and living God, Jehovah.
Thank you for this great video, it clarified the timeline for me, which hitherto had been a jumbled haze. You have done an amazing and very worthwhile job!
Well done, a one man team can often be more objective and truthful than a committee of compromise driven by personal popularity and commercial dependency.
Thank you for putting in all the time and hard work to get this out for others to learn.
History is fascinating, yet there always is much speculation and new discoveries.
Love it. Nothing but historical facts. No religious nonsense whatsoever
Enjoyed your video. Well made and presented in an interesting way. Much of the past may never be known completely, but it's so very fun to speculate.
3years later and this was a banger. like omg man, I understand if you didn't personally go out and investigate but still. The sheer information presented in absolute and not some truth and fill in . I would love for religions and it's people to see this and come together.
The references to turning the back to deaf and blind could relate to the spiritually deaf and blind referred to in the New testament?
Love the channel great production values and research!
No they refer to it as what in the English language would call Sic, meaning exactly as is, the group was extreme even for THAT era and was mostly looked down upon from the extremely few sources we have, and once the 10th legion walks through the area we never hear from them again... Cough cough lol least I think it was the 10th
Alpha Tango nnmmmmmmmv
These ancient writers are no different from the hermits and monks of today who find solace in their world of spiritual literature and make believe
away from the real world of chaos, conflict, boredom and repetition.
Judging by the barren landscape this was a miserable place to live.
Its not that it "could be", but it IS directly related to all who are spiritually deaf and blind. Has nothing to do with physical disabilities. Jesus healed everyone with physical needs. Though this is directed solely to those that refuse to hear & see the truth of God's word. They are evil & we "Christ's true believers" are told to turn away from, kick the dust off our feet leaving them in their sin. 😔

The Dead Sea Scrolls were a significant discovery for two main reasons; 1) they demolished long held assertions that the Masoretic and Septuagint texts were recent creations and affirmed the rigid standards for the accuracy of textual transmission prior to the first century - and even much earlier. 2) they affirmed the authenticity of the New Testament as intrinsically Jewish via shared or similar prose, colloquialisms, Hebraisms, word plays, theology etc - all hiding in plain sight of the Greek manuscripts of the New Testament. Point number two SMASHES more recent conspiracy theories that the four canonical Gospels were written much later by non-Jewish Greco-Roman forgers. The gnostic gospels are in fact the later forgeries because in addition to the absence of any geographic references to first century Judea and the Galil, they lack the centrality of the intrinsic Jewishness of the four canonical Gospels.
this is true but there is still enough greco-roman content in the gospels (including passages that are either anachronistic or display the lack of knowledge of 1st century jewish culture) to suggest that they at least went through a later redaction by non-Jews.
@@robertleffel3156and what just what passages might those be?
Interesting thread. I'm somewhat familiar with these issues. I look forward to seeing further informative comments.
Thank you. 💜🌎✌️😎
@@erinmcdonald7781 You are quite welcome!
Are you saying that the Greek New Testament writing is not the true original language used?
OK - I'm an atheist and not particularly fond of blandly asserted historical "facts":
but this Documentary has been a real eye-opener! it has held my attention from beginning to end with the dynamic magnetism of a superbly written mystery-thriller developing into a horror story. The photography, pertinence and narration are totally captivating and it has made,
so much more of, the culture was I born into:
make much more sense than it ever did before.

and I look forward to re-watching it again as though I was revising for an important Examination that I wanted to pass with "Honours"
[ also subscribed to "Voices of the Past" - that you recommended in this video ]
Many thanks for posting, though still an atheist, yet maybe a bit more inclined to take recently discovered "History" very much more seriously.
I am not religious at all. But I do like history. This was well done. I cannot judge the content, but the production was top notch.
My undergraduate degree is in comparative religions, and included study of the recently discovered Qanrum Scripts. One of my professors was a biblical archaeologist, personally familiar with the texts. Thank you for your accurate nonjudgmental account of the documents in their historic context.
Thank you so much for all your hard work! Excellent, interesting and educational content!😊

Voices of the past is you guys too? This channel and that are my two favourite channels yet I had no idea lol... you guys are so good - you remind of the very best of the BBC before it all went wrong lol...
It's amazing how many locations have been found that are in the Bible.
No, really, it isn't at all amazing. How is it amazing that a book written 2500 years ago lists places that existed, or were known to have existed, 2500 years ago? Are Sumerian, Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian, ...etc writings amazing because they list places that existed when they were written? Would you say that about Shakespeare because places he describes exist? No, you wouldn't.
@@steveb2662 lol relax Steve
That's a joke right? That's like saying oh the found New York see it was written in a book...you folks crack me up.

Me trying to figure out ancient political alliances from this 'ancient history documentary': It’s like watching a never-ending chess game
He is blessed with the voice and speaking.
I have gotten hooked on this fabulous channel. So we’ll done and informative. Thank you for all the hard work you have done to produce these professional presentations.
very good presentation, without bias, and very informative. a good meal for my hunger for knowledge and truth
I actually thought there was a slight Christian bias to this presentation.
I have been throughout the MiddleEast. You have been faithful to the history in your documentary. Nicely done.
Man I get so lost in all the rulers and different reigns. I’m glad I wasn’t around with all the different wars they fought. Still very great documentary. Probably the closest I’ve come to unscrambling it all
Awesome documentary! I loved it. Please do one on the history of the New Testament manuscripts too.
Been binge watching these. Really like the format. Super interesting.
The fact that you made this yourself is insane. Truly well done, great resource for information and very entertaining.
It's great to hear ancient history narrative by someone who, like myself, doesn't follow any organised religion and therefore has no personal religious agenda to promote.
@Ian Luquis Rivera it was proven? pls can i have link?
What DO you follow?
Fantastic video with many facts, and glimpses into life during these times. It is not widely known that Jews and Christians freely intermingled back then....what a shame. Because of my schooling, I learned of this and thought to myself, "Of course, Christ was a Jew whom challenged that Pharisees so there must have been many cross-overs going both ways!" I enjoyed this video thoroughly and look forward to future accomplishments.
Wow! This presentation is absolutely amazing. You've answered many questions ive had about this timeline of history in a very logical, chronological manner. Full of information and connectivity. Thank you for you hard work. I look forward to future presentations where all controversial matters, on these histories of the region, are fully sorted out and presented. Bless
I was hoping the scrolls would say something about Yeshua, the son of the Hebrew god Yahweh who redeemed the whole world.
Yes. i know what you mean.
@@JamesRichardWiley Are you speaking about THAT Yahweh that deemed the world, after knowningly creating its creatures sick and then commanded them to be well, though he could make them well, but instead he has to create a loophole where he comes down bodily and sacrifices himself to himself to act as a loophole for a rule that he created?
