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.

This is pretty mind blowing. Finding even one of the lost parts of Homer's cycle would be nuts. I'm excited for the discoveries and all the gaps in our records we can fill in.
