Israel's Qumran Caves Up Close

In 1946, a shepherd who went to look for a missing goat inside caves near the Dead Sea happened upon several excellently preserved ancient scrolls. Amongst them were some of the earliest manuscripts of the Bible. The Qumran caves, where the scrolls were located, are a site of rugged natural beauty. This haunting aerial recording presents a close-up perspective of the area.
