Using machine learning techniques, computer science students have successfully deciphered Greek words on a badly charred and tightly rolled papyrus scroll unearthed in the Roman town of Herculaneum. This scroll, which was buried in a volcanic disaster in AD 79 caused by Mount Vesuvius, had remained unreadable for centuries. The breakthrough in reading the 2,000-year-old scroll has opened up new possibilities for understanding ancient texts and historical events. The students' achievement has garnered recognition and rewards, including a $40,000 prize. This groundbreaking use of AI technology in archaeology and linguistics has the potential to revolutionize the way ancient documents are studied and interpreted.
