British English: The Scrolls Cave
"Bedouins discovered this cave in August 1952. Fourteen thousand fragments of scrolls were unearthed as they sifted through the dust within. Archaeologists, who reached the cave later, uncovered an additional 1,000 fragments. Scholars believe that a Roman soldier who entered the cave in 68 CE tore the scrolls intentionally, and that later, ravages by animals and climate inflicted further damage. As research proceeded, the fragments of these scrolls were pieced together to produce 530 different scrolls. Publication of these scrolls was completed in 2001."
