@WieDan When the library is fully excavated. So it might a while if they for instance leave a third of it buried as they've done with Pompeii
@MichaelWheatley I guess I can resolve some NO early if it's organized by subject and some subjects get completely recovered without finding works that would've been shelved there
@MichaelWheatley I think the current timeline for scanning the already found 800 scrolls is 5 years, then they might find more in other sections of the villa if the start digging. So my point is that it could take a very long time.
@WieDan Yeah, it's going to be a long term market. Feel free to create a competitor market if you want to bet on shorter term outcomes.
