Dead Sea Scrolls

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.
