Description
Members of the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) team excavate a site in the Murabaat cave in the Judean Desert area near the Dead Sea. The IAA's expedition aims to find more of the known Dead Sea scrolls and other finds from some 2000 years ago at the cave, which was discovered in 1951 and was subsequently excavated and partially surveyed. In the cave, 180 documents written on papyri were previously discovered in which the name of the leader of the rebellion against the Romans, Shimon Bar Kochba, was mentioned for the first time.
