Yes. At first I thought it was a joke article, wherein someone had the brilliant idea of turning on a light in order to see a scroll previously unreadable because it was hidden in a dark cave. "How did you manage to read the scroll?" "Photon beams!" "Whoaaaa"

I thought the same thing, a joke. Then I read it as 'proton beam' for a few milliseconds...the brain does funny things when it's trying to make sense of something.
