This book has been recognized and included in the "World Memory International List" by UNESCO.

The archaeological discovery in Northern Greece has created a sensation in the academic world. The Derveni Papyrus, recognized by UNESCO as the oldest handwritten "book" in Europe in 2015, was found near Thessaloniki in 1962. The uniqueness of this papyrus lies in its pure European origin, unlike other papyri commonly found in Egypt or the Middle East. UNESCO's recognition by including this book in the "World Memory International List" makes it a monumental discovery for classical studies, ancient history, and religion.

"The Derveni Papyrus is very important not only for the study of Greek religion and philosophy, which form the basis of Western philosophical thought, but also because it serves as evidence for the early dating of Orphic poems, a distinctive version of the pre-Socratic philosophers.""

"ungkap UNESCO." in English would be "revealed UNESCO."

Has Global Meaning

"The Papyrus Text, which is the first book of the Western tradition, has a global significance because it reflects universal human values: the need to explain the world, the desire to be part of human society with known rules, and the suffering to face the end of life," continued UNESCO."

The Papirus Derveni fragments are currently exhibited at the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki, in line with UNESCO's recognition.

Papirus Derveni, which was discovered around Thessaloniki in 1962 in the Tomb of Makedonia Lagadas, plays a central role in uncovering the mystery of ancient Greek philosophical and religious thought. In a historical context, this papyrus becomes a key piece of evidence regarding the early origins of Orphic poetry, providing a unique version of the views of Pre-Socratic philosophers. Originating from the period around 340 to 320 BC, this artifact not only reflects the richness of ancient culture but also shocks the world as the oldest readable written manuscript in Europe.

The following is the translation of the 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The papyrus was found in the midst of the remains of a wood pile in a beautifully decorated tomb from the late classical period. The wood pile contains over a hundred historical objects."

The content of the Derveni Papyrus

This papyrus provides a profound insight into the life of ancient Greek society, exploring mystical beliefs, cults, and Persian witchcraft practices. Its content reveals the author's unique perspective on the Erinyes and Eumenides, who are considered not as divine entities, but as countless spirits of the deceased.

This document also explains about the birth of the gods and the function of Zeus, providing rare insights into philosophical and religious thoughts during that period. Therefore, the discovery of the Derveni Papyrus not only contributes to classical studies, but also takes us back to the past by providing access to the thoughts and beliefs that shape the foundation of human thinking in the West.

As the oldest written document in Europe, the Derveni Papyrus plays a crucial role in preserving and passing on valuable intellectual heritage.
