New Archimedes

Recently, a powerful new x-ray technique known as x-ray fluorescense has been used to read ancient texts. In the 13th century an unknown monk scraped of the ink of a manuscript that contained the last copy of certain writings of Archimedes. Archimedes was the greek famous for running out a bath-house yelling:"Eureka!" when he found a way to show if a blacksmith had cheated the king. He also is known for having held back the roman fleet which attacked Cyprus. The monk replaced these writings with prayers, and they were unreadable until now.
