A 1,500-year-old Egyptian papyrus offers an alternative ending to the biblical story of Abraham and Isaac, Archaeology reports. The Coptic-language scroll — which was discovered near Pharaoh Senusret I’s pyramid in 1934 by researchers from New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art and translated by Oxford University’s Michael Zellmann-Rohrer — claims that Abraham did sacrifice Isaac. The biblical book of Genesis says that God stopped Abraham from completing the sacrifice.
