How old is an Egyptian scroll made of papyrus that contains 75 percent of the amount of C-14 that would be found in a piece of paper today?

Carbon-14 dating can be used to estimate the age of organic materials like papyrus. If an Egyptian scroll contains 75 percent of the C-14 that would be found in a contemporary piece of paper, it suggests that the scroll is approximately 1,200 to 1,300 years old. This is because C-14 decays at a known rate, and a remaining percentage can indicate how many half-lives have passed. Thus, the scroll likely dates back to around the early medieval period.
