A computer science student has successfully deciphered a word on a badly charred and tightly rolled papyrus scroll that was unearthed in the Roman town of Herculaneum, which was buried in a volcanic disaster in AD 79. The scroll, which was left carbonized by Mount Vesuvius, has been the subject of AI technology development to read its contents. The breakthrough could potentially lead to the discovery of a trove of other classical texts. The student's achievement highlights the significance of computer science in unlocking ancient knowledge.
A computer-science student has used AI to decipher the ancient Greek term for “purple” from a 2,000 year old scroll that was left carbonised by Mount Vesuvius. Could the same technology be used to unearth a trove of other classical texts? https://t.co/FfUIYVBbMM 👇
