In the Magazine on Archaeological Diggings About your article on the Who wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls by David Down you are so convinced that the Qumran was Occupied By Essenes about 100 B.C. - 70 AD in The First War against the romans?

My Opionin is that have you date the Family of the Maccabees and also Family of Sadducees?

The Qumran were in 200-150 B.C. in the Qumran Sect?
