A pretty amazing fucking discovery just took place: (LINK)
 

"Decoded at last: the 'classical holy grail' that may rewrite the history of the world"

FULL STORY

:thumbsup

very cool shit.

Discovery channel fodder for years to come.

Wow, that's pretty cool.

SpaceAce

Discovery Channels rocks :)

very exciting

Very cool. Cant wait till all is decoded and put into print.

not much anymore, 75% of the time they're airing god damn MOTORCYCLE SHOWS!

It's the only channel worth having :)

very interesting!

Listening to Art Bell/Coast to Coast radio show, I get freaked out when I hear that some civilzations make reference to space ships and different creatures visiting and also that some of the tools and technologies some civilizations like the Mayans used were passed down from aliens...

yeah.. sux now.... but diccoery HD is bomb :thumbsup

Very cool, I must have been the only person who didn't fall asleep in history class (on the other hand I fucking hate reading things like the Illiad -- go figure ;D

discovery channel does rock...

Great story, it made my day. :)

"[...] expected to include [...], plus a series of Christian gospels which have been lost for up to 2,000 years."

I'm not religious at all, but I'm dying to read what they may salvage of the believed gospels. They could contain anything.

That's a nice breakthrough... better than most news we've had for the last two years.

cool stuff...

thats pretty neat, thanks for sharing

I'll have to join the choir on this one, although sometimes I feel that the repetitiveness and slant of their WWII material is a bit annoying.

i've been watching the history channel alot lately... stupid reality shows on discovery are killing it...

Modern Marvels Rocks :thumbsup

Just anti Davinci Code Propoganda

:1orglaugh

I'm super pumped! I've read all of the remaining complete plays by Sophocles (my favorite) and about 6 partial plays. I can't wait 'till they get more translated!!!

excellent. i'm sure there are al kinds of inetesting things there, it's going to be amazing to see when they get it all read, what we can learn from it.

thats cool

from Oxyrhynchus Papyri to multi-spectral imaging techniques developed from satellite technology to read the papyri .... fragments, preserved between sheets of glass, respond to the infra-red spectrum - ink invisible to the naked eye can be seen and photographed.. this is really cool....New technology applied to ancient history...amazing!
