The Copper Scroll: Treasure Map of the Dead Sea Scrolls

In 1952, archaeologists uncovered a unique Dead Sea Scroll near Qumran—not written on parchment or papyrus, but hammered into sheets of metal. Known as the Copper Scroll, it is unlike any of the others.

Instead of scripture, it lists 64 locations said to hold vast treasures of gold, silver, and sacred objects hidden across the Judean wilderness. Some caches are described in extraordinary detail—buried under steps, beneath aqueducts, or marked by specific stones. If real, the hoard would be worth billions today.

Yet in over 70 years of searching, nothing has ever been found. Were these treasures hidden before the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE? Were they symbolic, or even deliberate disinformation?

Treasure hunters and scholars continue to chase the Copper Scroll’s riddles—but its secrets remain locked in the desert.
