Holy Majole! I suspect “we” (as in, the human race) will be finding more papayri/scrolls/etc as the years go by, and thus illuminate the darkness surrounding certain beliefs world-wide.

I LOVE it when this stuff finally sees the light of day!

Egypt’s use of papyrus to keep records was probably similar to their ancient contemporaries, but Egyptian conditions are conducive to their preservation. Even so, over 99 percent of them vanished long ago. It’s nice when they emerge. Some few years ago, one turned up which apparently has the signature of Cleopatra VII — better known as Cleopatra. :’)
