In the years to come a lot of ancient Greek and Roman - lost and unknown - books will be virtually unraveled.
Where? At the 'Herculaneum Villa of the Papyri' in Italy.
Why? More than 1,800 papyri have been found to this date, carbonized by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79.
When? The techniques for virtually unraveling are getting better and better.
Curious? Yes, I am very much. In this only surviving library from antiquity there will be treasures far more precious than gold. I have no doubt about that.
