Revelations around the pyramid and flood are intriguing.
I don't believe in the huge ship with animals 2 by 2.
The trouble with the dead sea scrolls is they are said to be information written and merged with the words of Christian scribes. There is only one reference to Jesus of Nazareth and that is in relation to James being put to death. The name Jesus is mentioned around 20 times, but they are thought to be different people.
I have been writing. on this very topic recently and I plan on writing extensively.
It was actually diversity which caused the death of Christ. If you read the scriptures properly.
As I was not aware of any evidence from the Dead Sea Scrolls of the christian story. I have to admit after looking up the available information I see that the estimated date range of the Dead Sea Scrolls covered up to somewhere around AD 50 to AD 70) A couple of fragments have been considered to point to a Mark verse and another writer seems to think the word "Dove" and "nail" is equivalent mentioning Jesus. Nothing at all clearly stated about christian or Jesus.
Anyhow that is what I found to date.
If facts and evidence are important more than a sound life guiding faith (my failure here) then the available corroborated evidence points to the creation and writing of the christian story around AD 100. That is the time frame of NT writings and known actual churches, gatherings.
