I've always wanted to know exactly what great treasures of history are hidden away in the Vatican archives. I'm sure they have a huge cache of "indiana Jones" type artifacts.

I wouldn't doubt it.
The story is that they have several rare manuscripts that all by themselves are historically significant and priceless.
Of course, they are stored away out of sight out of mind.
Even if they ARE small parch fragments.
Considering they the early church did the earliest translations of religious texts, I wouldn't doubt this either.

No doubt about that.
I read a book years ago called "The Assassini" by Thomas Gifford. In it are some very detailed descriptions of the archives in the Vatican. A fascinating book.

I agree. They probably have the directions to Atlantis written down in there somewhere and don't even know it.
