Searched on papyrus and Vesuvius, and didn't see this posted.

Jim Davila's Paleojudaica blog post TECHNOLOGY WATCH: A new effort to unroll those carbonized scrolls from Herculaneum lead me to the newspaper article.

Hah. The bit I added to the title needs [sic] also. It should be ‘non-invasive’.

[grey_whiskers]

Like, *PING*, folks!

Cheers!

Just send them to one of those hard disk recovery places.

There's a misprint in the next-to-last paragraph (I think)--"10th century B.C." Homer wasn't written down that early. In paragraph 4 of the article it says "10th century A.D."; I think this may be correct. Right?

This is all well and good, but in my opinion it isn’t a story until they try to read them and either fail or succeed. Saying they are going to do it isn’t a story, doing it is. The MSM gets desperate in their search for news I guess.

There must be a translator somewhere in Utah? You got a hat? I’ve got rocks!

[LongElegantLegs]

Oh, I hope they succeed! How cool!

These scrolls, about 3,000 years old,

Surely this should be 2,000 years old.

Fabulous! One of the most moving things I ever saw was at a display of things removed from the lava of this Vesuvius eruption. It was the shape of a persons body but made out of clear acrylic. They had found the hollowed out body shape that the lava formed around the body and filled it with liquid acrylic. You could see the contorted shape of the agonized person when they were burned to death by the lava. It made me cry.
