Researchers have digitally “unwrapped” a badly burned scroll from Herculaneum using X-ray imaging and AI. The scroll, charred by Mount Vesuvius in 79AD, had been impossible to physically open. The team is confident in deciphering the full text, which is believed to be a work of philosophy. Unveiling ancient scrolls provides a connection to the past, sparking curiosity about the individuals involved. This innovative approach offers hope for unraveling more secrets from the past. The project signifies a breakthrough in the field, with the potential to reveal profound insights into ancient texts and human history.
