Researchers use artificial intelligence to analyze ancient scrolls recovered from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. These scrolls contain texts from the Herculaneum library, buried and carbonized by ash. AI algorithms assist in reading texts that are otherwise illegible due to damage. Scientists apply imaging techniques, such as multi-spectral scanning, to enhance the visibility of the writing on the scrolls. Teams collaborate to decode the texts, extracting valuable historical and literary information. This work contributes to understanding ancient philosophies, cultures, and languages. The project highlights the intersection of technology and archaeology in preserving history.
