This ancient scroll is thought to be a treasure map. It points to 64 locations where lots of silver and gold are hidden. The Copper Scroll was found by an archeologist on March 14, 1952. Due to corrosion, it could not be opened at the time of discovery. John Marco Allegro, an expert on Dead Sea Scrolls, suggested cutting the scroll into parts to make the text easily readable. Between 1955 and 1956, the scroll was cut into 23 parts, and the content was transcribed. Since the discovery of the Copper Scroll, many experts have studied it. There has been much debate over the date of the Copper Scroll. Though some experts place the scroll between 25 and 75 C.E., others point to a later period.
