Posted by N on July 3, 2002, 5:15:49 Historian Panayotov Lobbies for Translation and Analysis of Kumran Manuscripts. Varna (on the Black Sea), July 3 (BTA) - Upon his return from Jerusalem, historian Dr. Nikolai Panayotov told journalists that he is the first non-Israeli scholar to be admitted to the storage, conservation and research department with the Jerusalem State Antiques Agency. Panayotov's interests are focused on the Kumran manuscripts, the first fragments of which were found accidentally by a shepherd near the village of Kumran (near Jerusalem) in 1947. Another 50,000 fragments were unearthed in the expeditions that followed. The manuscripts are in Greek, Latin, Hebrew and Aramaic. Panayotov's idea is to launch an international project for an exact translation and thorough analysis of the Kumran manuscripts, only one tenth of which has been restored. The historian believes the manuscripts contain old texts of the Bible. The project may provide the key to Panayotov's hypothesis that the Bible is older than it is now believed. The Old Testament is believed to have been written in the 5th century B.C., while Panayotov holds the opinion that it might have been written in 5000 B.C. Panayotov develops this hypothesis in his latest book, "The Jews and Judaism - Beginning of Human Civilization Seven Thousand Years Ago." The book came out in Bulgarian and English, and is currently being translated into Russian and Hebrew.
