Derveni Papyrus Found in Greece: Europe’s Oldest Book.
The Derveni Papyrus was discovered near Thessaloniki at the Macedonian Tomb of Lagadas in 1962. It is an artifact that doesn’t merely belong to the past but is more like a bridge that connects us to the intellectual world of ancient Greece. Dating back to around 340 to 320 BC, it is the oldest legible manuscript discovered in Europe, making it a treasure of unparalleled value. via @greekreporter
