Hah. The bit I added to the title needs [sic] also. It should be ‘non-invasive’.
more like charcoal briquets [sic] than scrolls," Seales said
why the "sic" here?
Cheers!
oh, I see, I thought it was a paste of the original article and wondered how the editor would know if Seales misspelled something when he was speaking (pronunciation not involved)
Just send them to one of those hard disk recovery places.

This is all well and good, but in my opinion it isn’t a story until they try to read them and either fail or succeed. Saying they are going to do it isn’t a story, doing it is. The MSM gets desperate in their search for news I guess.
There must be a translator somewhere in Utah? You got a hat? I’ve got rocks!
It’s probably just me, but I read the article as a subtle request for grant money from some hedge fund moneybags who wants to launder his reputation.
“There’s a misprint in the next-to-last paragraph (I think)—”10th century B.C.” Homer wasn’t written down that early. In paragraph 4 of the article it says “10th century A.D.”; I think this may be correct. Right?”
This is in dispute, but the earliest dates posited are 8th-9th century BC, while others posit 6th-7th century BC. 10th century AD corresponds to Dark Ages/Middle Ages (1066=Norman conquest of England demarks the line between the 2), when the Greek and Roman empires were long dormant.
MAybe so; but is your zipper healed enough to actually USE them??
Oh, I hope they succeed! How cool!
Aren't you supposed to be in a meeting or something today?

Thanks Mike Fieschko and grey_whiskers. There have been a few topics about these papyri, including at least one about a non-invasive method, but hey, it's been a while, so pingin' it. |
