Scrolls

It is evident that the Qumran Essene Hypothesis fits most accurately as the Essenes being the primary writers of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Although, I also think that there were some secondary writers of the scrolls. This thought came to me from the third video (How were the Dead Sea Scrolls Written?) when it mentioned that the scrolls were often written by different scholars and were edited by each other. And connected to this thought is the how it possible “that the Essenes possessed monasteries…in

show you this amazing Jutsu and you’re going to let me graduate and everything will be okay. That’s the way it works, right? Anyone who learns Jutsu from this scroll passes.” Bewildered, Iruka asks, “Huh? Where’d you get that idea?” Interrupting Naruto, I whisper, “Mizuki Sensei told him, which means he’s coming back probably to steal the scroll away, later killing Naruto. We must stop him.” Iruka and I look over sensing an oncoming attack as kunai raining down on us. “Look out!” Iruka yells. Pushing

When they went to the museum, Sadie found the first scroll of the book of Ra in the statue of Khnum. Then Sadie picks up the scroll and it lights up on fire on her hand.
