Oh, wow.

Isn't it, though? I'm really looking forward to the Archilochos fragment.

Not just classics students. We theology geeks are quietly going nuts over the thought of discovering bits of lost gospels and other early church writings.

True! Gah, just the whole idea of it gets me... and now I'm wondering how many more documents they'll be able to recover using this technique. So exciting!!!

Classics, theology, just plain literature.... I should've just said anybody who likes old words. *g*

Well, I'm not a Classics or a Theology student, but I'm still thrilled and amazed. Not only by the find, but also the technology involved in being able to read it after holding it for so long.

Exactly! I'm so excited to see what else this technology might be able to reveal!

That might be the most exciting news I've read in a year.

*Laughs* I don't know that I'd go that far, but it's damned exciting. I'm really looking forward to more details on it.
