Thanks Codeborg, your second link goes directly to the Newsday article.

We are going to see more of this. Improved archaeological techniques and technology have already recovered some interesting ancient documents including parts of a "lost" work by Aristotle, and a legal document which may have Cleopatra's signature on it.

Do you remember where? I'm sorry I come and go a lot,
makes it difficult to stay calibrated.



I had a premonition of a smile but it was only a japanese reflection
in a dollar store window. Young ferns in a kool-aid world.

More good news!

NASA technology reveals texts of Trojan Wars, early gospels
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2002284845_texts23.html
Quote:
... A relatively new technology called multispectral imaging is turning a pile of ancient garbage into a gold mine of classical knowledge, bringing to light the lost texts of Sophocles and Euripides as well as some early Christian gospels that do not appear in the New Testament.
...
First excavated by two Oxford archaeologists in the late 19th century, the hoard of papyrus from Oxyrhynchus has long been a source of fascination and frustration for scholars: fascination because it holds some of the lost masterpieces of classical literature, frustration because much of it is in such poor condition that it's impossible to read.
...
There were plays by Sophocles and Euripides, poems of Pindar and Sappho, and some of the earliest documents recording Christianity's spread to Egypt. The gospel of Thomas, for example, records the "Sayings of Jesus" in a manner that some scholars of early Christianity believe is more authentic than the Gospels in the New Testament.

There also is an abundance of life's everyday stuff and miscellanea: tax records, marriage contracts, horoscopes, erotic musings, advice on how to buy a donkey and advice on how to cast a decent magic spell.
