I hope to some day hear before I get planted that an amazing find of hundreds of ancient scrolls in pristine condition have been found in some tomb or cave. Kind of a Villa of the Papyri collection that did not get fried.

Well, they aren’t in pristine shape, but hundreds of scrolls from a very famous Roman’s villa near Pompei have been found in somewhat charred condition and scientists have been trying to get some of their information extracted for years.

Don’t know the current status but I bet Sunken Civ is on top of it and can give us a report. Please?
