An evangelical Bible scholar has discovered the earliest known star coordinates ever recorded by a human.
Dr Peter J. Williams is principal of Tyndale House, a Cambridge-based research institute for biblical scholarship.
He made the discovery while researching a Bible manuscript belonging to the Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC.
The ancient parchment, which came from a monastery in Egypt, is a palimpsest – a manuscript with text which had been rubbed out and new writing placed on top.
