I've heard of explorers who found several of these scrolls only to have them taken due to controversial content. One named Greg Elliott was one that found several in Qumran and poof - gone the next day, no explanation. They believe it MAY have contained New Testament gospels, but they didn't have time to look it over properly due to lacking a clean room with tools. Most of the scrolls were composed on goat leather. His team plans to excavate a previously unexplored cave and continue investigating a series of tunnels near Qumran. The team's previous digs have unearthed some fascinating remains.

The whole premise literally doesn't make any sense

If followers of Jesus wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls, Jesus would be mentioned in the Dead Sea Scrolls, but he's not, not even once. Are we really expected to believe that the Essenes either spawned Jesus or somehow connected with him and adopted his teachings, and then literally failed to mention him ever again at all? By the time the Dead Sea Scrolls were buried Israel was completely destroyed, so there would no longer be any reason to hide a connection to Jesus or hide Jesus behind a mysterious figure called "The Teacher." This documentary is just another ruse to invent yet another false history for Jesus, who most likely never existed. An invented savior god like all the other savior gods invented during the Messianic era.
