Ancient Astronomer's Work Found on Roman Statue

Now this is amazingly cool.

A Roman statue of Atlas -- the mythical titan who carried the heavens on his shoulders -- holds clues to the long-lost work of the ancient astronomer Hipparchus, an astronomical historian said on Tuesday.

It's so incredibly rare for a lost ancient artifacts are found again, it just makes me smile. Sick as it is, I'm still smarting over the burning of the library at Alexandria.
