World's Oldest Fragments Of The Koran Found By University of Birmingham

BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND - JULY 24: A Koran manuscript is displayed at the University of Birmingham on July 24, 2015 in Birmingham, England. The two leaves of parchment have recently been carbon dated at a labratory at the University of Oxford and are thought to date back to the early seventh century, close to the time of the Prophet Muhammed. The finding makes the manuscript, with text from the Koran, Islams holy book, one of the oldest anywhere in the world. (Photo by Dan Kitwood/Getty Images)
