Abstract

The manuscripts unearthed in 1947 between the border of Israel and Jordan on the shore of the Dead Sea are known as The DEAD SEA SCROLLS. They belong to ESSENES who had cut off from the main body of Judaism in opposition and constituted a community known as Qumran. There are interesting concepts in the Scrolls that are very similar to Zoroastrian ideas. The main idea in the DEAD SEA SCROLLS is the war of the Sons of Light against the Sons of Darkness which is similar to the contrast between Ahura Mazda and Ahriman in Zoroastrian mythology. The confrontation of the Good and the Evil leads to a universal war between angels and demons which finally by the victory of the Good forces comes to an end. Moreover, in both traditions the Good and Evil forces are organized in a precise hierarchy. Since these concepts are absent in the early Jewish traditions and Hebrew Bible, some scholars believe that they appear in Jewish tradition under the influence of Zoroastrianism.
