    Before

    discovered sealed in a cave at Dunhuang in 1900 by the explorer Aurel Stein, is the oldest dated printed book in the world

    After

    discovered sealed in a cave at Dunhuang in 1900 by the Daoist monk Wang Yuanlu (and acquired by the explorer Aurel Stein in 1907), is the oldest dated printed book in the world

    Why: Verified the corrected text is present in the body ('discovered...by the Daoist monk Wang Yuanlu (and acquired by the explorer Aurel Stein in 1907)'). The FAQ field does not mention Dunhuang or the Diamond Sutra discovery, so there was no stale FAQ content to fix. No changes needed.
