The Copper Scroll Project
Finding the Treasures of the Tabernacle
An internationally recognized investigator entered a realm above his level of formal education, but his training uniquely suited the challenge. Fifty-four years after archeologists delicately removed engraved copper sheets from a cave near the Dead Sea, the retired investigator unlocked its secrets. After deciphering the strange and enigmatic text, he realized he had found the key to understand the directions to fantastic treasures hidden by Biblical prophets in the wilderness of the Holy Land. Applying skills learned as an Army cavalry pilot, the investigator triangulated the location of possibly the most spellbinding artifacts in history. The small town researcher must now rush to reveal his findings to the world or risk losing them to unscrupulous men wanting credit for deciphering the mysterious text of the scroll.
In this book, Jim Barfield tells the back-story of the scroll in a third person narrative format then gives detailed Biblical proof of the major events prior to the Copper Scroll. He then finishes with his all-important disclosure of the treasure locations leaving nothing to question.
Although, his photo-documented look at the Israel Antiquity Authorities (IAA) April 2009 excavation based on his research will leave “you” questioning, “Why did the Antiquities Authority stop?” Jim does agree, the IAA needs to move with political caution. The treasures rest in one of the worst possible regions of Israel, the political war zone of the West Bank.
Intrigued, the IAA Director General watched as Jim showed the researchers at Jerusalem’s Rockefeller Museum how the last five locations formed a straight path ascending to a point under a massive heap of red stone. The spot matched the most important description on the scroll, the buried opening to a large cave: a cave described in the apocryphal book of II Maccabees to contain the most sought after relic in history, the Ark of the Covenant.
