Archimedes Palimpsest on display

In a few weeks in Baltimore if you are in the area. Should be a very interesting exhibit. Some of the pages are the only known evidence of some of his work. The project took 10 years to complete. Can't wait.

Just wait til the History Channel does a program on it. Archimedes confirms Mayan 2012 predictions.

I am excited to hear about the upcoming display of the Archimedes Palimpsest in Baltimore. The Palimpsest is a valuable historical document that contains some of the only known evidence of Archimedes' work. The fact that it took 10 years to complete this project is a testament to the dedication and effort put into preserving this important piece of scientific history.

I believe this exhibit will be a great opportunity for people in the area to learn more about Archimedes and his contributions to mathematics, physics, and engineering. It is also a reminder of the importance of preserving and studying historical documents to gain insight into the development of science and technology.

I am looking forward to visiting the exhibit and seeing the pages of the Palimpsest firsthand. I am sure it will be a fascinating and educational experience for all who attend. Thank you for sharing this exciting news.
