I’m surprised they haven’t done this already.

A manuscript or books could have up to 500 pages, with each page needing 150MB of storage. That's some pretty high-resolution scanning. I'm guessing they want scholars to be able to closely examine the calligraphy to get clues as to which scribe wrote what.

How far down have we slid when even in this headline on this subject, they have to add the word ‘crap’ like 14 year old school boys. Books, the Vatican, Holy, and excrement?

Phase 1 is 40 million pages. If the next 2 phases are 40 million each, that’s an average of 1,348 pages per document. Seems way too high. Something’s off with the reporting, the next phases are fewer pages, or ancient documents were longer than we imagine.
