Yes! We're so close! X-rays have revealed that a scroll buried by Vesuvius in AD 79 was written by the Epicurean philosopher Philodemus. After nearly 2,000 years, his words are finally seeing the light. #Philodemus #VesuviusScroll #AncientTexts #Archaeology #Epicurean #VesuviusChallenge

We have officially published Potnia in @joss-openjournals.bsky.social 🐍👁️👉🏽 doi.org/10.21105/jos.... Potnia is a #Python library for the conversion of transliterated #ancienttexts into Unicode. It currently supports Linear A and B, Arabic, and Hittite cuneiform, with many new languages on the way!
Logo for the Potnia Python library. A roughly rectangular red background (the shape of a Minoan clay tablet), with the white outline of a woman with flowing hair, wearing a layered skirt, and holding a staff in a powerful pose to the left, and the white text 'POTNIA' to the right, with the corresponding Linear B symbols directly above it.

LOVE stories like this.

"...the more than 600 rolled-up scrolls were so fragile that it was long believed they would never be readable, since even touching them could cause them to crumble." @jenlucpiquant.bsky.social

A ten-thousand year long written record is inherently of value.
The stories will be about people we don't know, in a world we don't know, and that writing will reflect developing views, over thousands of years.

Disclaimers in ancient texts? Why have these gone unnoticed by scholars & researchers all of this time? If nothing else would raise alarm that they had been studying incorrectly, this certainly should. Perhaps ignored by them due to willful ignorance. #AncientTexts

Are biblical prophecies truly divine foresight — or just ancient texts reworked to fit later events? From the virgin birth to Babylon’s fall, this article takes a critical look.

… anyone ever heard of #TheMonad?

Part of #Gnosticism, The Monad is the collective of all aspects of God. The #God of the #OldTestament and #Jesus are both aspects - or #Aeons - of The Monad. The Old Testament God is called the #Demiurge

#AncientTexts are so fascinating.
