On some fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which for a long time were considered empty, a hidden text was found that scientists did not notice.
Thanks to a random discovery made in the UK, scientists realized that some clean fragments of scrolls that had been stored at Manchester University for over 20 years contain ancient inscriptions invisible to the eye. They managed to make out in other spectra.
It was later discovered that four fragments contain readable text in Hebrew and Aramaic, written in carbon based ink.
The research is ongoing – we should know its results very soon. So far, scientists have identified four lines of partially saved text, each of which consists of 15-16 letters.

Parchment was a precious commodity. Scraping away existing text and reuse was fairly common. Chances are many such documents have underlying previous text.
