This is not really any type of magic. In fact it seemed that way to me at first. A friend of mine explained it to me so to speak by walking me through the path.
We took a fragment. At first it looks like an piece of the forest without any definite lines so it can camouflage it's self,lol. Then if you can spot a word,by a word I mean if your lucky a whole word and then maybe a few letters of the next word. In any case it is always by far easier that is if you know the book, chapter approx.verse it's way easier,lol. If not,,,
ok,if not,,,then your going to need to know that language enough to see things like "thiNGS Like" where the capitol "NGS L" fell in aspect to the rest of the fragment. Like someone threw the paper back at the paper boy and missed and it took a piece out of your paper on your porch that morning.
There's the complicated part. If you can master this,,,then if any of you are street savvy at the internet stuff then hit google,search interlinear/text,pull up the original text(research oldest known manuscript,fragment,text,ect.) and match those little half words that were torn out of the newspaper.
Anything in Greek that is sacred(think Jewish=cannot write or say aloud) will have a line drawn over it between certain time frames(confusing yes but you are looking at 1st cen. so it will?),,,
This will work on any and every fragment in approx. 1st century Greek,+- (different sacred name symbols in Hebrew,ect.) It is not magic,,,so to speak ken is yes and lo is no.
