Still anxiously awaiting the results of the recovery of the burned scrolls from Pompeii.

With any luck, they will contain more than recipes or yoga exercises.

The most recent stuff I'd seen is under the "villaofthepapyri" keyword. :^) The scrolls had been packed, apparently part of the evacuation plan, but clearly that didn't work out. Over the past 170 or so years various nitwits have tried various brute force methods of unrolling them, and destroyed most of the texts in the process, but were able to read the resulting fragments of mostly unknown texts on Epicurean philosophy, oh boy. Not even a cookbook.
