We may be close to rediscovering thousands of texts that had been lost for millennia. Their contents may reshape how we understand the Ancient World. (worksinprogress.co)

Very long but also very interesting. Amazing how they're able to "open" and read carbonized scrolls.

@Kwakigra@beehaw.org, @Gaywallet@beehaw.org, & @h3mlocke@lemm.ee: I probably wouldn't have found this if it weren't for Arts & Letters Daily, which I highly recommend, if you haven't already heard of it. It's definitely more humanities oriented, but over the years they've posted a lot of interesting stuff that I probably would never have read otherwise.
