One Man's Search for the Fabulous Treasures of Ancient Egypt
Since the Copper Scroll was discovered in 1952, its contents have baffled scholars the world over . . . until now. Painstaking research by professional metallurgist, Robert Feather, has uncovered the Copper Scroll's meaning and opened up a vault of hidden treasure. One of the Dead Sea Scrolls, The Copper Scroll is an elaborate treasure map, listing 64 coded locations where gold, silver, beautifully crafted jewellery and ritual clothing were hidden over 2,000 years ago.
The Dead Sea Scrolls record the activities and sacred writings of a secretive Jewish sect - the Qumran Essenes - who lived at the time of Jesus. Not only has Robert Feather's decoding of the Copper Scroll led to a discovery of beautiful artefacts, but he has also unearthed another more controversial treasure - an ancient link between the Essenes and the most advanced, wealthy civilisation in the ancient world - the Egyptians. These connections will profoundly challenge our most fundamental beliefs in the origins of Western religions.
