Sunnis need to consider their beliefs.

A team of researchers made a surprising find when examining a papyrus-wrapped mummy mask -- they found what they believe to be the oldest-known copy of a gospel in existence. The researchers found a fragment of the Gospel of Mark that dates back to about 90 A.D., Live Science reports. Previously, the oldest surviving copies of Biblical gospel texts date back to 101 to 200 A.D.

Is this the oldest manuscript of the Gospel?

Charred by the intense heat and pyroclastic flows of Mt. Vesuvius, whose 79 AD eruption destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum as well as several nearby settlements, the papyrus scrolls remained buried under ash until 1752, when they were discovered in Herculaneum in a private residence that housed an impressive library – later dubbed the “Villa of the Papyri.”

Ancient scrolls read by X-ray.
