Worlds Oldest Book |
 The world's oldest multiple-page book contains six bound sheets of 24 carat gold, with illustrations of a horse-rider, a mermaid, a harp and soldiers. It is written in the lost Etruscan language and the book dates back to 600BC. The small manuscript, which is more than two-and-a-half millennia old, was discovered 60 years ago in a tomb uncovered during digging for a canal along the Strouma river in south-western Bulgaria. The six sheets are believed to be the oldest comprehensive work involving multiple pages, said Elka Penkova, who heads the archaeological department of Bulgaria's National History Museum in Sofia where the book is now housed. |
