That was remarkable, it just goes to show the benefit of leaving things be until exploratory tools get good enough. The recovered lump was in one piece when it was found, it's in 84 now. I suspect what was most lost from that dismantling is lost portions of the inscribed texts.

The YouTube version felt like it had been edited down to a half hour from something twice the length, but that might be a mistake on my part.

It's during these times that I wish I had a technical/mathmatical mind.
these guys better hurry up and work it out because I have around 30 to 35 years left on this earth ......and I want one before I die.
