The Dead Sea Scrolls
n     In 1947 a Bedouin shepherd boy, searching for a lost goat, threw a stone into a cave opening in Qumran by the Dead Sea and heard the sound of shattering pottery.  His inquisitiveness lead him to investigate and discover the first of what was to become known as the Dead Sea Scrolls.  The world found out about them about one year later in 1948.  The impact of this find on verifying the reliability of our Holy Scriptures cannot be overemphasized.
