Why This Exists

AI can generate plausible translations of any ancient text in seconds. What AI cannot generate is a photograph of a manuscript. The scans in this library are the evidence. The original-language texts are verifiable against those scans. The translations are checkable against the originals. Every claim links to a source you can see with your own eyes.

As AI becomes more capable, the need for a verification layer becomes greater, not less. This is that layer.
