Copper Scroll - One of the Dead Sea Scrolls found at Khirbet Qumran, the Copper Scroll differs significantly from the others. While the others are written on leather or papyrus, this scroll is written on metal, specifically very pure copper mixed with only about 1% tin.
Dead Sea scrolls - The Dead Sea Scrolls comprise roughly 850 documents, including texts from the Hebrew Bible, discovered between 1947 and 1956 in eleven caves in and around the Wadi Qumran (near the ruins of the ancient settlement of Khirbet Qumran, on the northwest shore of the Dead Sea). The texts are of great religious and historical significance, as they are practically the only remaining Biblical documents dating from before AD 100.
Qumran - Qumran (Khirbet Qumran) is located on a dry plateau on the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea in Israel. The site was constructed sometime between 150 and 130 BC and saw various phases of occupation until, in the summer of 68, Titus and his X Fretensis destroyed it.
Dead Sea canal - The Dead Sea canal is a proposed project of building a canal from either the Mediterranean Sea or the Red Sea to the Dead Sea, taking advantage of the 400 meter height difference between the seas. The water flowing through the canal may help redress the drop in the level of the Dead Sea.
