Best Answer

According to archaeological and paleographic examination as well as carbon-14 tests, the Dead Sea Scrolls were written between the third century BCE and the first century CE; the majority of the texts were written in the first and second centuries CE. (Most texts discovered at Qumran were not originally composed by the Dead Sea sect. Examination and testing provide estimations of when scribes made copies of the texts; their content reveals when they were composed.) The texts were composed from the birth of the nation of Israel with the composition of The Bible; the dates of composition continue until the turn of the Common Era.
