TWO MILLENNIA AFTER THE VESUVIUS ERUPTION, HERCULANEUM SCROLLS CONTAIN A MISTERY JUST WAITING TO BE REVEALED The Villa of the Papyri collection is the only known library to survive from Greco-Roman antiquity. Using particle accelerators and artificial intelligence, researchers finally have the ability to virtually “unwrap” the scrolls and read their contents. A team of papyrologists, historians, scientists, and AI experts have identified one scroll as potentially among the oldest in Roman history, while another could provide great new insights into Greek theology. Vesuvius buried these scrolls. AI is bringing them back. | National Geographic
