The Book of Knowledge is a compiled binding of ancient manuscripts found in the Qumran Caves in the West Bank near the Dead Sea. Scholarly consensus dates these scrolls from the last three centuries BC. Historians believe that the book was destroyed along with the Great Library of Alexandria in 48 BC.

​

Many religions speak of the book as sacred, believing it held mystic capabilities and that those who possessed the book were cursed with omniscient knowledge. However, the contemporary scientific community reject these ideas as mere legends and folklore.
