SYDNEY, Nov. 20 (UPI) -- Researchers in Australia have successfully translated a 1,300 year old Egyptian text, revealing it to be an ancient codex of spells and invocations.
"It is a complete 20-page parchment codex, containing the handbook of a ritual practitioner," Malcolm Choat and Iain Gardner, professors at Macquarie University and the University of Sydney, respectively, wrote in their book of findings.
