Scientists in Europe have discovered the earliest known text of Mark' gospel. The single page is dated around 90 AD. Previous versions are all later, written in the 2nd century. Recent discoveries found that the mummy death masks of ordinary people were made of used papyrus contain all manner of writings, philosophical texts, lost poems of Homer, business records, and biblical material. Thousand of such masks are yet untouched but promise much for historians. None of the material has yet been published.
