I don’t know if the Vatican has a public museum where it displays its acquisitions, or if they keep them in a private archive. Appropriately, security was high during the transfer of the papyrus. “An armed motorcade surrounded by people with machine guns picked up the texts,” said one of those involved. The article says that the materials were found, along with other papyri, in 1952.
I don’t doubt the authenticity, I would just like to know where it was before 1952. I wonder if there’s such a thing as an archaeological detective, lol?
