From the sacred Dunhuang Manuscripts discovered deep in a Chinese cave to the legal decrees of Hammurabi’s Code of Laws, this list of ten incredible ancient texts provides profound insight into the history of ancient civilizations.

Among these remarkable texts lies the Timbuktu Manuscripts, testament to Africa's rich intellectual heritage, challenging prevailing notions of African culture. Bundled in camel skin and adorned with intricate calligraphy, these manuscripts offer a window into the vibrant intellectual exchange of historical African societies.

Meanwhile, the enigmatic Emerald Tablet is rumored to hold the secrets of the universe, while the intricate medical manuscripts of Bian Que illuminate ancient healing practices with unparalleled detail, offering insights into the medical knowledge and techniques of ancient China.

Scrollon V. Addison, after he gets caught and put 'under watch' and study to figure out what is going on with him.

The Scrollore:

Scroll is a very successful food mascot, an idol in cyber city. He's most often marketed off of his cuteness and good looks. He's also empty on the inside. He doesn't feel much emotion in his day to day life.

The most he feels is irritations, boredom and a yearning to fill the void somehow. He has a twisted view of the world, the kind where metaphors start getting literal. He believes he lacks something that everyone else has.

He's not sure what it is, whether its emotions, a real personality, a soul or just relationships, but whatever it is, he wants to obtain it by eating others, thinking that will make him whole.

Hunting down and eating others is the closest he gets to actually feeling something, although none of it really lasts by the time he finishes his plate, so he moves on to the next. He also feels one more thing; the fear that he is the one getting devoured.

Over time, the line between him and the food he's associated with got really blurry, and he began thinking that Addisons are food for the consumers. Him consuming others is a way of staying in control and putting himself above the rest.

Striking celebratory outfit, pairing a kimono with auspicious kotobuki (long life kanji 寿) and hôkan (lit. "precious scrolls", ie sacred texts rolled into their cases), and powerful dragons nestled among thundery clouds.
