Cairo, Sept 17: Egyptian archaeologists have found rare medical and astronomical manuscripts at the country’s National Library (also known as Dar al-Kotob).
A senior official at Alexandria Library said the ancient documents were just laying forgotten in the Dar al-Kotob archives for many years, but were then “technically rediscovered” due to the efforts of the Centre for Documentation of Cultural and Natural Heritage (CULTNAT).
“They are really priceless,” Egyptian State Information Service quoted the official as saying.
