Comment: This discovery is currently in the news, as it was announced just two days ago. I considered nominating it for WP:ITN, but I think it suites DYK better. Without the qualifier "from Germany" (in main hook and ALT4), readers may assume this to be about the more well known Herculaneum papyri, which were featured in DYK 13 years ago (25 August 2011).

Thanks for the review, Chris! To the user who promotes to the queue: I don't have strong preferences for one hook over the others; whatever best fits for the day. :) Renerpho (talk) 23:33, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
