Per Live Science, the Copper Scroll was written while the Roman Army was raiding Jewish settlements. Jerusalem had fallen to the Roman forces, destroying the Second Temple — a holy site for Jewish people — around A.D. 70, via Interesting Engineering. This possibly explains why the treasure described in the scroll was hidden, and why a scroll was written to record where it could be found. Is it possible the bounty described in the Copper Scroll was some or all of the temple's treasure, taken from the site before the Romans arrived?
That question remains unanswered, largely due to the fact that the scroll is written in ancient Hebrew, and that language can't be understood today in its entirety, according to USC Dornsife. Furthermore, many of the locations and geographical landmarks outlined in the writing are gone, or impossible to place on the modern landscape. Is the treasure described in the Copper Scroll real and waiting to be found, or a work of ancient fiction? As of this writing, those questions remain unanswered. Until then, riches beyond our wildest imagination could be out there somewhere, just waiting to be discovered.
