The '''Dead Sea Scrolls''' are a collection of ancient Hebrew religious manuscripts found in 1947 in caves near the Dead Sea. Unknown to the public, there are one or more sets of scrolls found along with the collection whose existence was never revealed to the world at large: the "Secret Dead Sea Scrolls". The Secret Dead Sea Scrolls were acquired by the mysterious [[SEELE]] organization. The Secret Dead Sea Scrolls predict the events of the entire series:  the coming of the [[Angels]] (including information about specific ones), the Evangelions, and [[Third Impact]]. SEELE uses the information found in the Dead Sea Scrolls to try to ultimately harness Third Impact and the Instrumentality process for their own ends:  first to ward of the threat of an Angel-initiated Third Impact, and then once all of the Angels are defeated, to use the Evangelion series to bring about Instrumentality.

The Dead Sea Scrolls is the in-universe name for a set of documents that serve as the primary guide and philosophy of Seele. Little is known about them, except for what Seele alludes to during their meetings and what is stated in the Classified Information section of the Neon Genesis Evangelion 2 video game.

In Evangelion

It is known that the Scrolls are of extraterrestrial origin and that they serve as a manual on the use and purposes of the contents of Black/White Moon's: a Seed of Life and the Spear of Longinus.[1]. They detail rules on how to use these items, and are often referred to as prophecy; to the extent of the order and times of release of the Angels.

Seele possessed vast wealth and power, and being founded as a religious organisation, they funded investigations into relics of their faith. This culminated with the excavation of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The irrelevant discoveries were released to the public as the Dead Sea Scrolls, while the Secret Dead Sea Scrolls were kept by Seele. They would later be used to put their ultimate plans of a Second and Third Impact, followed by Instrumentality.

In Reality

The real Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in eleven caves at Qumran in 1947 on the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea. The texts are mostly fragmented, with the exception of a few relatively intact scripts. Scripts and script fragments are numbered according to the cave they were found in. A number of scrolls are in Hebrew, while others are in the Aramaic language. Fragments of every book of the Old Testament, except for the book of Esther, have been found among the Dead Sea Scrolls.[2]

A number of Dead Sea Scrolls, while classified at the time of Evangelion's production, have since been made available to the public. As such, the mystery surrounding their contents has disappeared.[3]
