>Where did the dead sea scrolls come from? (dead sea?)

	No.  The Dead Sea Scrolls are a real set of ancient scriptures found in
caves 
near the Dead Sea, on the Israeli/Jordanian border.  Presumably, they
contain some 
very early versions of Biblical scriptures, including several books that
were not 
considered Canon (the Gospel according to several other people than John,
Matthew, 
Luke, etc.).
	However, the Israeli Government is strictly controlling access to the Dead 
Sea Scrolls, so what prophecies (if any) are contained therein are
anybody's guess.  
It is entirely possible that they do, as in Evangelion, foretell the coming
of the 
Angels (though hardly likely.)

>Did the angels leave them?

	Who left the scrolls behind is really anybody's guess.  They were found by 
some Bedouin shepherds.  Presumably, they were being stored there by whatever 
scholars or priests had been compiling them.
