Scientists are leveraging a combination of artificial intelligence and X-rays to begin unraveling the mystery of the charred scrolls.

For the past two years, citizen scientists and scholars have been working to reveal the previously hidden texts of the Herculaneum scrolls

A breakthrough out of the Vesuvius Challenge builds on past efforts to virtually “unroll” fragile papyrus documents carbonized into hardened lumps by the volcanic blast.

Researchers have taken one step closer to understanding the past after they managed to use artificial intelligence to read one of the hundreds of scrolls that were discovered in the ruins of the ancient city of Pompeii.

U.K. scientists say they have made a historic breakthrough by making the first image of the inside of a scroll carbonized by a volcanic eruption 2,000 years ago.

After months of using AI techonolgy to translate an ancient greek text, one of the first words uncovered from the 2,000 year old scroll was "digust."The scroll was from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79,

Researchers used advanced technology to digitally "unroll" an ancient Greek text on carbonized papyrus, and now they're reading it.

Nearly 2,000 years ago, a library of papyrus scrolls was incinerated in the ancient Roman city of Herculaneum. Now, for the first time, researchers have unfurled the carbonized remains of one such scroll—not physically,
