Lost stories of Daniel recovered in the Aramaic DSS

AT BIBLE HISTORY DAILY, Dr. Andrew Perrin introduces another of his videos on the Aramaic Dead Sea Scrolls:

Aramaic Memories of Daniel Recovered from the Dead Sea Scrolls
The Qumran Aramaic collection, however, revealed a yet unknown and broader profile of the figure of Daniel in several works. While we were familiar with other Daniel traditions from the so-called “Additions” in the Septuagint, Cave Four included at least two new works that cast a Daniel in new settings and associate him with fresh revelations.
For notice of past episodes in the series, as well as earlier links to Dr. Perrin's work, see here.

This episode is timely, as we follow Phil Long's blog series on the Book of Daniel.
