Horizon: Account of the discovery of an ancient text written by Greek philosopher Archimedes. The programme tells the story of how this precious document was buried in a Middle Eastern library, written over by a medieval monk, broken up, painted on, cut up and reglued : and how it was saved by scientists in the nick of time. Plus, the revolutionary nature of the great man's ideas, suggesting that if his work was discovered during the Renaissance man might have reached the moon 100 years earlier.
