In the winter of 1886-87 a French archaeological team headed by M. Grébant was digging in Akhmîm in Upper Egypt. The team was excavating part of the grounds of an ancient monastery, where monks, priests, bishops, and holy men were interred. In a portion of a cemetery that contained graves ranging from the eighth to the twelfth centuries they uncovered a grave. It was a certain tomb from the eighth century. In the tomb was a monk, his skeleton reclining peacefully with hands folded on his breast. His hands clasped a small book, which he believed to be holy and inspired. His hands held the book was if it were used in prayer. The book was an anthology containing texts the monk held most precious and sacred. The book contained the texts of several books including; The Book of Henoch (Enoch), The Apocalypse of Peter (also called The Revelation of Peter), and The Gospel of Peter.
