The Book of Enoch / Dead Sea Scrolls

The Books of Enoch were with the Dead Sea Scrolls upon their discovery, as well as others. But these books were omitted from what the church considered Canon. I wonder why.

The Book of Enoch tells of some events that would explain some things written in Scripture yet it was omitted, considered non Canon.

Now this book was supposed to be written 2 to 400 years before the birth of Christ. And they say that it was a 400-year time period when the prophets were quiet and the scribes were not writing. Yet The Book of Enoch was written and rejected.

I wonder how many Scrolls were lost and not rewritten from the three destructions of the cities of Israel?

Some denominations include that book. And even in the more restrictive bibles, there are a few references to the books of Enoch to let us know that it was considered perhaps just as important as the rest of the scriptures.

@froggtongue from my knowledge only the Bible that is used in Ethiopia contains the Book of Enoch.
@Charity i had the sense that there were several more groups that did. I have heard like you that the Ethiopians accepted those three.
