They lasted around 200 years, until the Second Temple of Jerusalem was destroyed.
Economy
Essenes lived in common dwellings, ate meals together, shared almost all possessions. They earned wages by working outside the community as farmers or craftsmen.[1]
Culture
The Essenes actively rejected free will and believed all events were predetermined. They also rejected contact with women.[1]
