The Dead Sea scrolls

---

John Marco Allegro (1923-1988) was a British archaeologist and Dead Sea Scrolls scholar; his (relatively) swift publication ] of the Scrolls material he was assigned was in marked contrast to the delays and stalling of publication of much of the other Scrolls material. His 1970 book The Sacred Mushroom & the Cross postulated that "Jesus" in the gospels was simply a code word for a psychedelic mushroom used by an ancient fertility cult; the lack of evidence presented in the book effectively ended his scholarly career. He simply assumed the "truth" of his thesis in his subsequent books such as The End of a Road and The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Christian Myth.
