No...you're right. That seriously is the coolest thing ever. When I saw it my jaw just dropped. What a great use of technology.

Keyhole *is* cool. Not sure it's *quite* as cool as imaging the inside of a scroll and virtually unrolling same, but it's a contender.

The British Museum has done something similar (or maybe it uses the same technology, I'm not sure) in "unwrapping" a mummy. I do voluntary work there and yesterday had an excited kid of 6 or 7 telling me all about it. She'll grow up to be an archaeologist or historian now, I'd reckon.
