   79 AD Mount Vesuvius erupts. In Herculaneum, twenty meters of hot mud and ash bury an enormous villa once owned by the father-in-law of Julius Caesar. Inside, there is a vast library of papyrus scrolls. The scrolls are carbonized by the heat of the volcanic debris. But they are also preserved. For centuries, as virtually every ancient text exposed to the air decays and disappears, the library of the Villa of the Papyri waits underground, intact.

    > One of the references on Wikipedia’s Elevator Paradox page is a paper written by Donald E. Knuth dated many years prior to his simulator. A side-effect of that research experience may have been a lasting interest in the intricate details of elevator systems.
