In 1956, a scroll was uncovered that shocked the world.
Fifty years later, the world is about to be shocked again.
On June 1, 1956, the New York Times broke a story that captured
the imagination of the world. Another Dead Sea Scroll had been
found, unlike any before it, describing unimaginable treasures
buried in the hills east of Jerusalem, and under the Holy City
itself.
In the years that followed, some scholars came to believe the
Copper Scroll could be history’s greatest treasure map, one
that could lead to the discovery of the Second Temple treasures
and the building of the Third Jewish Temple.
But the scroll’s code has never been broken, and experts
from all sides warn that any effort by Israel to rebuild their
Temple in Jerusalem would undoubtedly unleash a war of biblical
proportions.
Now, exactly fifty years after the Copper Scroll was unveiled,
New York Times best-selling author Joel C. Rosenberg takes you
on his most exciting and heart-pounding ride yet.
Saddam Hussein is gone. Yasser Arafat is dead. A new Iraq is
rising. But so, too, is a new evil, and now White House advisors
Jon Bennett and Erin McCoy find themselves facing a terrifying
new threat triggered by an ancient mystery.
