• 3:12
  for decades, believed it possessed a cheap copy
• 3:15
  of the Magna Carta. purchased for less than $30.
• 3:20
  However, researchers have now discovered it is
• 3:23
  a rare version from 1300, issued by King Edward
• 3:26
  I. This version is one of only six known copies.
• 3:32
  Professor David Carpenter expressed his amazement
• 3:35
  at finding a previously unknown Magna Carta.
• 3:39

  imaging techniques, Carpenter estimated the document

  is worth millions of dollars, though Harvard

  has no plans to sell it. This discovery is especially

  relevant today, as Harvard faces challenges regarding

  a pivotal Game 6, the Denver Nuggets triumphed

  eight points in a crucial stretch, allowing Djokic
• 4:25
  to catch his breath. Ultimately, Strother finished
• 4:29
  with 15 points, while teammate Christian Braun
• 4:32
  added 23 points and made key plays. This performance
• 4:37
  underscored the importance of Denver's supporting
• 4:39
  cast. which has often struggled. If they continue
• 4:43
  to support Jokic, the Nuggets could make a deep
• 4:46
  playoff run. In local sports, tonight at Fenway,
