A rare and incredibly old book from Egypt is hitting the auction block in London this June. The Crosby-Schoyen codex, believed to be written between 250 and 350 ad, contains early Christian texts and is estimated to fetch millions.

One of the oldest books in existence, hailing from Egypt at the dawn of Christianity, is heading to the auction block at Christie’s, where it could sell for between $2.6 and $3.8 million.
