Scientists digitally “unroll” 2,000-year-old scroll scorched by Mount Vesuvius

Researchers have achieved a major breakthrough in deciphering the ancient Herculaneum scrolls, which were charred by Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79.

Using AI and advanced X-ray scans, a team has digitally unrolled and begun reading a scroll stored at Oxford’s Bodleian Libraries.

This marks the first time an entire scroll may be readable.

The breakthrough was aided by a synchrotron X-ray machine, revealing extensive Greek philosophical text, CBS News has reported.

The discovery follows previous successes in the Vesuvius Challenge, which awarded students for using AI to decode portions of another scroll.
