Dead Sea Scrolls · The Full Story of the People of the Caves · 3 Hour Sleep Story

Who put the jars in the cliff? Tonight, the Dead Sea Scrolls as the people who wrote them: a rule book that measured punishment in days, thirty of them for falling asleep in the meeting, a community that kept awake a third of every night to read aloud, two spirits in every heart, a scroll made of copper listing sixty four buried treasures that nobody has ever found, the longest scroll of all, hidden under a floor for years, in which God speaks in the first person about a temple that was never built, a war written down as a set of instructions for the trumpets, a book that was found twice, half a century apart, in a Cairo storeroom and a desert cave, a priest from three verses of Genesis raised into a heavenly judge, the one outsider who saw them and wrote it down in his own words, the oath they swore to keep the books and the names of the angels, and the machine, built only a year or so before this night and named Enoch, that was taught to read their handwriting. A three hour sleep story, the second night of Season Six, The Lost Books.
