Investigator who thinks he may have found the Temple implements hidden long ago

About the Copper Scroll Project
 

The Project’s Inception

Oklahoma winters are bitterly cold, especially the predawn morning of the 21^st of December 2006.  Sitting at my desk wrapped in a blanket I turned on my computer and waited.  Realizing my research into the era of Jeremiah was complete, I hesitated.  Staring at the flickering monitor Vendyl Jones came to mind.  This, I thought, was a perfect time to try something different, something that haunted me since meeting the Texas gentleman months prior.  The old guy, love him or hate him, had some interesting things to say about a strange set of copper scrolls from Qumran; details that inspired me to reconsider its role in Biblical history.  In all my years of studying the Dead Sea Scrolls, that scroll seemed a waste of energy; it made no sense and honestly, bored me to tears.
 
My desire to “try something different” increased rapidly as thoughts of my first conversation with the Texan came drifting back.  I remembered respectfully stating to Vendyl my low opinion of the scroll, “Isn’t the Copper Scroll just a treasure map?”  The self-made archaeologist slowly glanced at me, lit his ivory pipe and pushed himself out of his massive recliner saying, “No sir.  That is where you are sadly mistaken.  That scroll has more prophecy in the first line than all the other non-Biblical texts put together.  We had better check on dinner.”  Vendyl continued to correct me as we walked onto his patio to examine the remains of a grilled turkey, burnt nearly beyond hope.  We had just met, he was the scroll expert, so…who was I to argue?
Vendyl and his wife Anita were wonderful hosts to my family as we spent the weekend listening to him tell us, mostly about his colorful life.  His stories, however egocentric, were fascinating and very entertaining but what he told me about the Copper Scroll changed my view forever.

Listening closely to his theories, however, about burial locations for the scroll’s treasures was hard to follow and, to be honest, didn’t seem logical.  For four writers and one hundred priests working under the threat of death to hide Israel’s most precious artifacts, Vendyl’s theory seemed too complicated for the fast moving and dangerous scenario.
So, that December morning, six months after meeting Vendyl I decided to go for it and apply some investigative techniques on the old scroll and see where it led.  After all, I was an award-winning investigator, no one would ever know if the idea failed and what could it hurt?  As the book containing the translation fell open across my keyboard the thought came to me, this has got to be the biggest cold case file in history.

Thank you.  That was very interesting.
