A couple of young Bedouin shepherds just happened to discover the Dead Sea Scrolls while walking near Qumran, Israel. One innocently tossed a rock into a cave in 1947 and heard a crashing sound. What he had broken was a clay jar housing one of the seven Dead Sea Scrolls. This ultimately became the greatest historical find of the 20th Century. The scrolls contain historical, religious and linguistic significance. They are the second-oldest known manuscripts containing nearly all of the Old Testament. The Israel Museum preserves the scrolls.
