That is really cool. It also blows my mind that there are only about 2,000 fragments of the Iliad and nobody doubts it authenticity, but there are over 25,000 Biblical fragments and people question its authenticity.


What?

It also shows just how "Greekified" the Egyptians were by the time of the Romans.


Cleopatra was Greek. And a whore.

The text was identified by papyrologist Leah Mascia.

Now that's a profession you don't hear mentioned every day.

It probably was a high school aged mummy who put off their homework until it was too late.

Iliad found on a mummy... just now?

The timing feels a little too perfect. This gem drops right as Nolan’s Odyssey is deep in production and already looking like a failure.

I stopped believing in coincidences a long time ago.

This proves that the Odyssey and the Iliad were both composed and written by sub-saharan black african women.
