Discovery at ND

Maddie and I went to pick up Nana at ND and found ourselves in the Special Collections Rare Book Room. Very cool. We asked to see a very old book so they brought out fragments of an Egyptian Manuscript on Papyrus called the Book of the Dead. Then we were able to take a very close look at this beautifully illustrated manuscript on vellum. A real treasure!
