Well, there's an interesting ... So in Germany, at the Center for the Study of New Testament Research in Munster, they're actually ... It's called CBGM, the Coherence-Based Genealogical Method. And it's tracing not manuscripts, but readings within manuscripts and finding the relationships between the different ones by like computer models.

And so they are actually, so this is actually the way that like modern era textual criticism is being done is with these language models that operate on tracing readings.

And how certain readings are related to one another, which has allowed us to do things like look at fourth century manuscripts and actually see that their readings come hundreds of years earlier in other manuscripts that we have in collections.

So one of the clearest examples of this is there's a manuscript in the fourth century called Codex Vaticanus because it happens to be in the Vatican right now. And there is a manuscript from the second century which has the exact same scribal conventions that Codex Vaticanus does in particular readings.

And so we know for a fact that the scribes who created Vaticanus did not have, I think it's P75, which is a papyrus 75, but they had some sort of collection of manuscripts that were similar. And so we can have confidence that the readings, although they're fourth century in particular areas of Codex Vaticanus, are actually second century in their origination.

And a large part of this is because of these like models that the computers got involved in.

Yeah. How close is it? In some ways, it's very close, and in other ways, it's not. So that's the story of Upnupishtim, which is kind of a side story in the Epic of Gilgamesh, where Gilgamesh realizes his mortality and he's trying to find eternal life.
