The Bodmer Papyri are very old pieces of paper that have really important words written on them. They were written a super long time ago in places like Egypt and they talk about things from the Bible, which is a really famous book.
The paper is really special because it was hidden away for a long time in a place called a cave, sort of like a secret hiding spot. But then, someone found the cave and was able to take the paper out so that people could read it and learn more about the Bible.
Even though the papers are really old and fragile, people try their best to keep them safe so that we can keep learning from them.
