X-Rays Reveal Archimedes Secrets
#6
And don't forget that in Oxford they are still working on 500.000 papyrus fragments collected somewhere between 1880 and 1930, of which 5% is researched (the bigger ones) and 1% published!
With the new technique described in the article, next thing they'll research is a load of payrus masks, which the researchers are sure one were made from layers upon layers of whole texts... Who knows what lost books will turn up?
