Zealot


A group of Jews who wanted to destroy Rome.

(Hillsdale College - Ancient Christianity)

With the Dead Sea Scrolls, a copper scroll was discovered that contained an inventory of ~60 locations of hidden gold, silver, and incense. They could possibly have been Jerusalem Temple treasures secured by Zealots from the Romans in A.D. 66-70.
