[QUOTE]Originally posted by DD'eDeN: [QB] Oldest longest Egyptian manuscript found: http://news.discovery.com/history/archaeology/oldest-and-longest-ancient-egyptian-leather-manuscript-found-150914.htm Basically a portable religious manuscript, the more than 4,000-year-old roll, contains depictions of divine and supernatural beings which predate the famous drawings found in the Book of the Dead manuscripts and the so-called Netherworld Books from the New Kingdom onwards (1550 B.C. onwards). Religious spells, formulated in the first person singular, also abound there. “They were likely recited by a priest,” Sherbiny said. It is known that priests used to carry leather rolls to reference while reciting sacred texts during religious rituals. - - - The first Egyptian to obtain his PhD in Egyptology in 2008 from the Leuven University in Belgium, Sherbiny specializes in the ancient Egyptian religious texts and is preparing the full publication of the unique leather roll.
