Being one of the first people to read a lost text by Greek mathematician Archimedes has to be an amazing feeling.
This story is really cool as the text had been erased by a monk so he could make a prayer book (things haven't changed much, huh?) and with a particle accelerator the Stanford scientists are able to make the erased Greek text glow on the pages. Super cool.
