Just a comment that this isn't the whole qur'an, just fragments.
When looking at the text, I find it hard to read but I saw a video where someone was reciting from the fragments and that was pretty cool.
This is an interesting find.
It also may open up questions about how the Qur'an was compiled into book form - for those that hae studied Islam, all this has been clearly documented and known through the ages, but for those less informed, this may be new information.
