Thank you for your time put into it. Now do your commentary on the shroud of turin! I'd love to read that also.
Thank you for expressing your appreciation.
I kind of go wherever my research takes me.
In the case of this Dead Sea Scroll discovery, I was binge listening through a couple dozen episodes of "Let's Talk Religion" on Youtube when the Essenes/Dead Sea Scrolls episode came on. I heard the host mention a strange rule from the DSS about not falling asleep during community meetings.
This might have gone by unnoticed to many, but, for two reasons, this sparked my curiosity. The first reason is that we know that the Hebrew tradition, via Moses, emerges from Egypt. I contend that esoteric wisdom traditions like Kabbalah and Merkabah were Egyptian before they became a part of the Hebrew tradition and Moses was the one who executed that copy/paste job.
The second reason is that, earlier in 2026, I finished reading the Kolbrin Bible which consists of 12 British books, 1 Trojan book, and 8 Egyptian books. The final bit we have of the Kolbrin Bible is essentially the Exodus narrative, leading scholars of the Kolbrin to estimate its age as at least 3,600 years old, predating Mosaic Judaism itself.
When I read through the Kolbrin, I noticed a lot of community rules including a number that, like the 'no falling asleep during community meetings' rule, seemed oddly specific and unique. I remember underlining a bunch of them as I read through it, thinking to myself that these are so specific, they would be a rather ideal way to establish provenance between documents.
When I realized that the Dead Sea Scrolls had weird, unique rules in them too, I decided it made sense to do a cross-reference examination of the Kolbrin BIble's community rules versus the Dead Sea Scrolls. Not only did I find a match for the 'no falling asleep during community meetings' rule in the Kolbrin, I found probably a couple dozen matches on rules found in both spiritual wisdom texts.
I found a lot more than that too, because some of the connections I made allowed me to make other claims. I just replied to your other reply with a note that explains those claims.
🙏
