An amazing story uncovering an accidental discovery of lost works of 'Archimedes of Syracuse'. This story also uncovers how modern imaging techniques are helping conservationists to retrieve lost works of Archimedes from the Palimpsest.

Archimedes was the most important scientist of Antiquity and it can be argued that he "is the most important scientist who ever lived". Recent discoveries point to the fact that it was Archimedes who can actually be attributed to the discovery of Calculus, almost 2000 years before Sir Issac Newton. In fact Newton might even have been inspired from some of the works of Archimedes. One of the conservationist of Archimedes' Palimpsest once stated "The entire Western Science is nothing but a series of footnotes to Archimedes".
