Kohlit

Template:Short description Kohlit or Kohalit (Template:Langx) is a place name used in rabbinic literature, and more famously in the Copper Scroll, a unique "treasure map" discovered among the Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS). It is unknown whether the two sources are referring to the same place.

Copper Scroll

Kohlit is a place, possibly a hill, mentioned several times in the Copper Scroll, one of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Kohlit has become something of a modern-day El Dorado for treasure hunters.

It is indicated as the area where the second Copper Scroll, containing a more detailed list, is buried.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Babylonian Talmud

Kohalit is also named in b. Qid. 66a (b. Qiddushin 66a; that is chapter 66a of tractate Kiddushin of the Babylonian Talmud) as an area east of the Jordan River where Alexander Jannaeus had led a successful military campaign.<ref name=Schiff>Template:Cite book</ref><ref name=Goran2>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name=Goran1>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
