Imagine you have a very special map that gives you a clue about where lots of treasures are hidden. This map is not made of paper but is made of metal called "Copper Scroll".
The Copper Scroll is made of copper and has some strange writing on it that tells you where valuable things are hidden. But this map is not like any other map you have seen before; it's very old and has been buried underground for thousands of years!
The people who wrote it a long time ago (known as the Essenes) wanted to make sure nobody could decipher it easily, so they wrote it in a code that was very difficult to understand. They wrote it in Hebrew language, using strange symbols and numbers which made it hard to read.
The Copper Scroll tells you about a treasure trove with gold and silver worth billions! The treasure is hidden in various locations across the ancient Middle East, such as the temple walls, tombs, and caves.
The scroll was discovered in 1952, in a cave near the Dead Sea in Jordan. And archaeologists have been trying to decode the message and find the treasure ever since.
But the Copper Scroll is very tricky to crack; it's like a puzzle with many pieces missing! It gives you hints but not enough information to lead you to the treasure.
So, many people have tried to find the treasure but without success. And it remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of all time!
