Kohlit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kohlit is a city mentioned on the Copper Scroll, one of the Dead Sea Scrolls, as the location where several boxes containing gold and silver are buried, in various parts of the city. The fact that the accuracy of the Copper Scroll is largely doubted, given that no-one has yet successfully managed to locate any of the things that it describes, has not stopped Kohlit from becoming a modern day El Dorado.
Kohlit is also an area east of the Jordan River where Alexander Jannaeus had military campaigns. It is unknown whether this is the same Kohlit as the city.
