Rediscovering the Book of Enoch

The Dead Sea Scrolls contained fragments of the Book of Enoch, and this changes everything we thought

we knew about ancient biblical texts. For two thousand years, this book was considered

lost, almost mythical. Then in 1947, a Bedouin shepherd stumbled into a

cave and found jars containing ancient manuscripts. Among them were multiple copies

of Enoch, suggesting it was widely read and deeply valued by early Jewish communities.

This book describes fallen angels, divine secrets, and apocalyptic visions that mainstream

religion later chose to exclude. The fact that it survived in those caves proves that

someone believed this knowledge was worth preserving, even if later authorities decided otherwise.
