Michael Baigent & Richard Leigh: The Dead Sea Scrolls Deception
Michael Biagent and Richard Leigh, authors of the book "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" try to expose the real reason for the conflict between scientists regarding published and unpublished manuscript material
Since their discovery in 1947 and 1956 in caves located forty kilometers east of Jerusalem, the Dead Sea Scrolls have been the subject of numerous scientific disagreements. Michael Biagent and Richard Leigh, authors of the book "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" attempt to uncover the real reason for the conflict between scholars regarding published and unpublished manuscript material. They conclude that the reason for this "academic scandal of the 20th century" is the fact that the discovered documents contain a new story about the origins of Christianity and an alternative version of a large part of the New Testament.
