Is it possible to preserve paper/papyrus for 2000 years?
I was discussing this with my dad in relation to Da Vinci Code, is it possible for them to preserve those manuscripts (assuming they exist) for 2000 years? Looking at it from a scientific point of view. Further assuming that there was a Priory of Sion who takes care of it, if it was ever found will it still stand as a powerful proof beyond reasonable doubt that Jesus was just like us? Please answer from a scientific point of view. Thanks

there are many papyrus in Egypt that old and older. how ever it will not prove anything as it could be a forgery or simply incorrect there are many forged books of the bible that are rejected now, it would be just another in a long line of them the logical error of the di vinci code is even if they had all that proof you could not prove she was a blood relation to Jesus all you have is a list of names
