Chinese medical text from 2,000 years ago are oldest atlas of the bodyManuscripts created 2,000 years ago were discovered in an ancient Chinese tomb in 1973. Experts have finally interpreted the text, revealing the world's oldest anatomical atlas - 're-writing China's history.' I was thinking about old texts earlier (believe it or not).

Nothing changes I was figuring out K earlier, I made some notes, there a bit everywhere but I’ll post them now anyway lol xx
