• Confirms the link between ancient Judaism and the pharoah Akhenaten.




• Decodes the system of measurements encrypted on the Copper Scroll that has confounded scholars for over 50 years, leading to the identification of fabulous lost treasures.




• Points to a radical new understanding of the origins of monotheism.




The famous Dead Sea Scrolls comprise the oldest collection of Biblical documents ever discovered. Of the Dead Sea Scrolls, none has baffled experts more than the 2,000-year-old Copper Scroll, discovered in 1952 by a team of Bedouin led by Henri de Contenson of the Ecole Biblique in East Jerusalem. Appearing to be a list of buried treasure engraved on copper pieces, the Copper Scroll is considered to be the work of a secretive Jewish sect of devout Essenes, who lived by the Dead Sea around the time of Jesus. No one has been able to explain its meaning or discover any of the 64 locations where the Biblical treasures it lists were buried.



Robert Feather, combining his background as a metallurgist with his journalistic expertise, has unraveled the enigma of the Copper Scroll in a fascinating study that takes the reader on a journey from ancient Mesopotamia, through Canaan, into Egypt, and back to the shores of the Dead Sea. His exploration links the scroll to the ancient Egyptian king Akhenaten, confirming a long suspected influence of this pharaoh's religious beliefs on those of the Hebrews. The author's findings not only reveal the locations of most of the treasures listed on the Copper Scroll, but they also point to a radical new understanding of the origins of monotheism--the basis of the three great religions of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity.

Rating: - Robert Feather Review
For some reason I always have trouble getting a review posted here. I've been trying all Summer to get posted.
...Anyway I will comment on Mister Feather rather than "Copper Scroll". After reading 'Jesus @ Qumran' and 'Copper Scroll', I realized that Robert Feather spends so much time in research that it's hard to believe that he writes so well and speaks to the layman in DSS study in such easily understandable language. I've read both books twice and am looking forward to a third venture ... Read More

Rating: - Mystery of...
The title alone shows how careless this book is. Feather attempts to connect the Copper Scroll to Qumran. Even though the cave sits above the main highway linking Jerusalem and Dead Sea, and would have been an obvious
place to stash anything before fleeing south. In several places he actually encourages the reader to go
"treasure hunting". Calling artifacts "treasure", is not something a legit scholar does. "Treasure
hunting" is also destructive.
Its my opinion Robert Feather ... Read More

Rating: - Is Ahkenaten the founder of Essenism?
This book details Mr. Feather's research into the Copper Scroll. He builds a fairly strong argument for considering the Amarna period as the background for the rise of the Essenic tendency in Judiasm. Overall, I think his case has merits. There are a few errors, such as how he gets the name of Ahkenaten out of the Greek lettering on the scroll. His conclusion that the "g" is a reference to Mt. Gerizim, however, is unique and helpful. He should follow up on how the other Greek letters function as ... Read More

Rating: - Was akhenaten the real founder of the 3 well-known world religions?!!!!!!!!!!
Robert feather has done remarkable analyses by deciphering the mystery of the copper scroll. He is basically proving, based on the copper scroll of Qumran and other scientific evidences, that the priests of Akhetaten (and more likely the rest of believers of Akhenaten) had already immigrated with Moses to the land of Canaan(Palestine) and mixed with the Jews during the Exodus. However, those followers of Akhenaten decided to be isolated in caves in Qumran between Jordon and Palestine and they formed ... Read More

Rating: - Egypt father of Judaism?
I find this book fascinating, because of the numerous connexions that the author makes between Akhenaten's monotheist religion and the birth of Judaism. The author also brings us on a journey of associations between the egyptian priests of exodus (the first Levites according to him) and the Qumran-Essenes. Although these connexions are intriguing in their own rights, the argument is sometimes confuse or highly hypothetical. This book is worth reading for it refreshing view on these subjects, while the ... Read More
