The burial place of Plato has been found

An analysis of carbonised papyrus from the Roman town of Herculaneum has revealed the burial place of Plato.
Plato (427 – 348 BC), was an ancient Greek philosopher of the Classical period and taught the doctrines that would later become known as Platonism.
The scroll is one of many examples recovered at Herculaneum, a Roman town in the present-day comune of Ercolano in South-West Italy.
Along with the nearby city of Pompeii, Herculaneum was destroyed during the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, burying the town under thick layers of ash and pumice.
Numerous scrolls and parchments made from papyrus were carbonised under the intense heat, however, as part of an ongoing project by archaeologists, a scroll containing the History of the Academy of Philodemus of Gadara (110-40 BC) has been partially deciphered.
The team used modern imaging techniques such as infrared, ultraviolet optical imaging, molecular and elemental imaging, thermal imaging, tomography, and optical microscopy digital.
Approximately 1,000 words have been identified (around 30% of the text entirety) which includes new details about Plato, the development of his Platonic Academy, and information that identifies his place of burial.
Archaeologists already knew that Plato was buried somewhere in the Platonic School in Athens, however, this latest revelation has pinpointed his burial to a private garden near the so-called Museion or sacellum sacred to the Muses.
Furthermore, the text has revealed that Plato was sold as a slave following the conquest of the island of Aegina by the Spartans sometime around 404 BC to 399 BC.

Would that be Plato's closet?

Wow.
What would it feel like to locate something like that?

I tried reading some of it, but it was all Greek to me.

Can't wait to see who gets offended by it so they have to desecrate it.

So they found a piece of paper in Italy that says Plato is buried in Athens. Headline should be piece of paper found points to Plato's possible burial location.

OMG! I didn't even know that Pluto died! Was he put in the secret cellar beneath Cinderella's Castle?

Crazy to think one of the greatest minds ever might have spent half his life working in a field somewhere.
Like a reverse Good Will Hunting.

Freaking white supremacy strikes again.

Cool. Lets unbury him and poke at him.

Did the scrolls confirm that Plato was a transgender, black lesbian?
If not, they won’t be accepted by the Smithsonian

He was a flat earther.

Damn! Now Mickey has to get a new dog (which begs the questions as to why a mouse should even have a dog as a pet).
