Elon Musk, through the Musk Foundation, has announced his intention to provide financial support to an artificial intelligence project aimed at deciphering ancient Roman scrolls. The initiative, known as the Vesuvius Challenge and led by Nat Friedman, seeks to digitally unfurl scrolls that have been unreadable for centuries. While Musk's exact contribution to the project has not been specified, as he has stated he does not know how much he'll contribute, his involvement has been confirmed by various sources. The effort to read these 2,000-year-old scrolls is seen as a significant investment in historical preservation and research.

I agree with BAP on the Herculaneum scrolls. This is a noble investment. Musk should begin buying up ancient cemeteries and plots all over the Mediterranean. In Renaissance Italy the body of a Roman noblewoman was put on display and visited for days by awestruck Italians.
