The Dead Sea is a body of water in Israel that has a high salt content thus containing a low level of life. It is part of the biblical holy land. But, most of all it is famous for being the area that the Dead Sea Scrolls are from. Specifically a cave in Qumran is the site where several ancient manuscripts were found. They were written just after the time of Christ. These scrolls provide historic and philosophical information about Jesus and his followers.
