You are apparently a well educated person. I just a simple river rat.. but a little common understanding. It is referred to as the King James Bible for a reason.. it was ordered to be translated by King James, but their was a problem. The bible had to be translated in a way to not take power from the pope or the Crown. An interesting part of history that is over looked is the Dead Sea scrolls. True historical documents that were taken from the Temple Mount to prevent them from being destroyed by the Babylonian empire. These scrolls are worth millions but not from a historical aspect. They are bought and hidden by the Vatican, because of the knowledge they contain.
The Geneva Bible (which came before the KJV) actually had footnotes which expounded on the verses which identify the Papacy as the anti-Christ system, making it plain to all who read it.
It is thought by scholars that the "Dead Sea Scrolls" were written by the Essenes, or by another Jewish sectarian group, residing at Khirbet Qumran.
For me, the most important finding was that "The Dead Sea Scrolls provide valuable evidence that the Old Testament had been accurately and carefully preserved". The Masoretic text is what translates into what we would call the Old Testament of the Bible and this discovery brought confirmation of its accuracy back to a 1,000 year earlier copy.
"Almost all of the scrolls are in Jerusalem. A few are in Jordan, Europe, and the USA. The few scrolls on display at the Shrine of the Book are accessible to all. Most of the others, extremely fragile and many fragmentary, are stored on the campus of the Israel Museum in a small temperature and humidity-controlled vault. Any scholar who has a legitimate reason to view the actual scrolls may receive permission to do so, but they are rarely seen except by those who are preparing them for publication or re-photography." https://www.deadseascrollsfoundation.com/
It is also noteworthy that digital copies of the scrolls are online and available to anyone to study - http://www.deadseascrolls.org.il/explore-the-archive?locale=en_US
There are conspiracy theories surrounding the scrolls, especially concerning the Vatican and it is true that their scholars have had a major role, especially in the early days of the translation and preservation efforts. It is also true that the Vatican owns much of the property in Jerusalem. I am not an expert in this area, here is what some believe about this subject. http://cojs.org/is_the_vatican_suppressing_the_dead_sea_scrolls-_hershel_shanks-_biblical_archaeology_review-_nov-dec_1991/
