I prefer to see Qumran Qumran as a repository for the
Jerusalem Temple. When Herod destroys the public records
held at the Temple, Temple officials take anything that
might smack of being anti-Herodian (secterian manuscripts)
and transfer the scrolls to the repository. I agree with
Brad that the fort is simply not there, (and neither are
the Essenes).
