  • 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.

The article from Forbes, published on February 7, 2025, discusses a groundbreaking use of AI to decipher the contents of a 2,000-year-old scroll from the Villa of the Papyri in Herculaneum, which was buried and carbonized by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. Researchers, using advanced AI techniques, managed to virtually unroll and read parts of the scroll without physically damaging it. The AI analysis revealed philosophical texts discussing themes of disgust and pleasure, providing new insights into ancient Epicurean thought. This discovery not only showcases the potential of AI in archaeology but also enriches our understanding of ancient philosophical discussions on human emotions and ethics.
