1,900 year old Iron swords were found in a cave in the Judean Desert in Israel. The iron swords were hidden by Jewish rebels during the revolt against the Roman Empire. During the revolt, many rebels fled to the desert and hid weapons, coins and ancient writings.

This is not a scene from a horror movie. This is a children's room at home in a kibbutz near the Gaza Strip. It will take a long time for the sights and smells in this whole area to disappear. Photo by Kobi Richter/ Israel Fire & Rescue Authority

My grandmother was forced out of Tunisia in 1951 with her children because she was Jewish. She came to Israel. Yesterday, hundreds of Tunisians burnt the el-Hamma Synagogue, reminding my family why we need a country of our own. All that’s left from the synagogue:

The treasure that was never found. A scroll found in the Qumran cave in the 1950s and is believed to lead towards a great treasure of gold and silver, buried all across Jerusalem. About the strange and mysterious scroll, The Copper Scroll 📜 (Thread)

If the treasure does exist, it may have already been found and used by various locals who found it hundreds of years ago, or it may be buried deep under established neighborhoods.

Either way, the story of the scroll indicates the panic and fear that prevailed among the Jews at that time, and leaves us and the researchers with many questions.
