(D) "A trip to the arid Dead Sea region, where your historian colleagues have found a storeroom of wax-sealed jars." is the research expedition should you join in order to retrieve some ancient but viable seeds.
The Dead Sea Scrolls were initially found in 1947 by Bedouin shepherds at Qumran in a lonely maze of caves. The Bedouin found several antique clay jars that had been wax-sealed. They still remain shrouded in mystery and contain biblical and other religious writings that were copied more than 2000 years ago and therefore is accurate to the carbon dating that seeds dormant for up to 2000 years can successfully germinate.
Between 1947 and 1956, the texts were found in 11 caves adjacent to Qumran. Few well-preserved scrolls, which typically only survive in fragments, were discovered in cylindrical jars, but many other neighboring caves yielded identical jars and lids without scrolls.
