To tell the truth I didn't feel any “jolts” going through my world and the earth didn't shift when I first read about a little piece of papyrus ending up in some professor's hands.

To be generous it might actually be from the 4th. cen. but then as now a lot of garbage was written and some survives.

Or the thing could be a fake a collector got burned on as happens all the time.

It’s crazy to put any credibility into something written 400 after the fact. If I write something stupid about the 1600’s, are they going to give it credibility in another 2000 years?
