I love the human sense (or vision) that we could find these in the 1750s as carbonized logs and know that we should keep and protect them - that we miiiiight be able to read them someday.

    Actually, quite a few got partially destroyed while humans tried to physically unroll them.

    I suppose they must have left the worse one to hope and to us

      An unknown number of them were also allegedly burned for heat as they were mistaken for wood logs during early excavations

    I wonder how many many "experts" fell into the trap of calling the reading of those scrolls "impossible" through the years? ("When a distinguished but elderly scientist states [...] that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong")

It’s amazing that they can reconstruct any text at all from those scrolls.
