LIVING COPPER, DEAD SEA SCROLL
The Copper Art Museum, a multi-room museum dedicated to the many uses of the versatile metal, presents a special educational exhibit called “The Copper Scroll Unrolled” focused on a rare facsimile of the original Copper Scroll — the least known of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Copper Scroll was found in 1952 in a cave on the shores of the Dead Sea, where it had lain for nearly 2,000 years.
Most of what are called the “Dead Sea Scrolls” were found by Bedouins and sold through antiquities dealers, but The Copper Scroll was actually discovered by archaeolo- gists. In ancient times the text of the docu- ment had been incised on thin sheets of cop- per which were then joined together. By the time it was found, the document was rolled into two separate scrolls of heavily oxidized
copper which was far too brittle to unroll. For five years scholars, and experts dis- cussed ways of opening the scroll. Finally,
they decided to cut the scroll into sections from the outside using a small saw. Working very carefully they cut the scroll into 23 strips, each one curved into a half-cylinder. Before it was cut, one scholar thought he saw words for silver and gold and suggested that the scroll was a list of buried treasure. The trea- sure described in the Copper Scroll consists of vast quantities of gold and silver, as well as many coins and vessels, but the value, loca- tion and much of its history are all but lost in translation.
Explore the mysterious history of this ar- cheological treasure for a limited time at The Copper Art Museum, 849 Main Street in Clarkdale. Open daily from 10AM-5:30PM. Visit CopperArtMuseum.com for details and admission prices.
