Το μυστήριο του Χάλκινου Κυλίνδρου / The mystery of the Copper Scroll

Ο Χάλκινος Κύλινδρος, όπως βρέθηκε στο Σπήλαιο 3
(Φωτο: www.asor.org)

 Τα χειρόγραφα του Κουμράν (περίπου 900) είναι αναμφισβήτητα μία από τις σημαντικότερες
αρχαιολογικές ανακαλύψεις του 20ου αι. Μεταξύ τους ο λεγόμενος "Χάλκινος Κύλινδρος", ένα κείμενο γραμμένο σε φύλλα ορείχαλκου, που βρέθηκε το 1952 στο Σπήλαιο 3 του Κουμράν, εξακολουθεί να προκαλεί το ενδιαφέρον των ερευνητών. Περιέχει έναν κατάλογο με πληροφορίες για τοποθεσίες όπου είναι κρυμμένοι διάφοροι θησαυροί. Το μεγάλο ερώτημα που απασχολεί τους ερευνητές είναι κατά πόσο πρόκειται για πραγματικούς ή για φανταστικούς θησαυρούς. Διαβάστε το ενδιαφέρον κείμενο του Jesper Høgenhaven (Πανεπιστήμιο της Κοπεγχάγης) σχετικά με αυτό το εντυπωσιακό εύρημα:
