Wish it had been an historical library rather than a library of philosophy, but progress is progress!  |

Bill, I read another article on this, and I think they are unsure of all that is potentially there. Sadly many were destroyed when digging first started there 100s of years ago. Check other articles on the web. I think one article said this was the villa of Julius Caesar's father-in-law. The other articles are very interesting. |

At last, a truly good use for AI. There's a chance we could find some unknown or lost works using this technique. |

I'd like to see a history of dynastic Egypt, the one that was lost when the library of Alexandria burned. |

There are so many possibilities. Of course it may be common and known texts. The translations limited. But let's hope for positives. Unknown histories.
Information on military tactics, training, enemies.
New biblical information.
Technology and medical techniques
First hand accounts. |
