Scientists discover ancient documents written in dead languages at St. Catherine’s monastery

Scientists reportedly discovered ancient works written in rare dead languages at Saint Catherine’s monastery, according to The Times of London. “Among the discoveries were three ancient Greek medical texts that were previously unknown to scholars, as well as the earliest copies of some from Hippocrates,” the article says. Researchers also stumbled on documents written in the Caucasian Albanian language, which had only even been found inscribed on stone, and used imaging technology to recreate the missing parts of the text.
