The Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in a group of caves overlooking the Dead Sea, near Qumran in the former Roman province of Judea. They were mostly written in Hebrew and Aramaic. They belonged to the Jews. It is not settled, but most scholars believe that the group who hid the scrolls were Essenes, a sect of Judaism.
