- “The Israel Museum opened in 1965 to worldwide praise as an important research facility. Of its many historical and religiously important collections, none are more famous than the Dead Sea Scrolls. The scrolls are contained in a wing called The Shrine of the Book. The Shrine's roof is an enormous white dome designed to imitate the clay pots in which the Scrolls were found. Those scrolls, discovered in 1947 by Bedouins in the Qumran caves on the Dead Sea, are said to date from 100 B.C., and area the oldest known Jewish manuscripts in existence.”

The Shrine of the Book appears in PC versions of Mario is Missing! as a visitable location. Located in Jerusalem, the Shrine of the Book is a museum that was built in 1965[1][2] and is famously the location of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The place closed briefly when a Koopa Troopa stole the Dead Sea Scrolls from the Western Wall, but was later reopened by the curator when Luigi returned the Dead Sea Scrolls.
