Manuscripts: NT vs Classic Works

I watched this YouTube video the other day, and found this chart about how the New Testament manuscripts compare to other classic works very interesting.

I was surprised to see how few surviving copies those other works have compared with the New Testament, and also how much longer the time gap is between when they were originally written and when the earliest surviving manuscripts appear.
