Archaeologists found a cemetery of all male burials except for one Bedouin family burial nearby, making Qumran a Jewish monastery of sorts. It seems linked to first century Jewish historian Josephus’ description of the sect named the Essenes. The Book of Isaiah was important to the people of Qumran near the caves as more of it was found than some of the other books. Some historians think John the Baptist may have been to Qumran near Jericho and the Jordan where John Baptized. They had a deep stepped pool (mikveh), where they practiced ritual cleansing.Did this great discovery significantly shed new light upon any of the New Testament?

The scroll of Isaiah found was more than 1000 years older than any known manuscript and comparing with what had been available, it was clear that no evidence of the script changing could be found.

Note: it's not that I think the text can't be trusted, but there is clear evidence of differences in manuscripts of the OT, notably in those books I mention.
