Researchers have successfully deciphered the complete text of a carbonized scroll from Herculaneum, a Roman town destroyed by Mount Vesuvius. This breakthrough, achieved using artificial intelligence and advanced imaging techniques, marks a significant step towards reading hundreds of other ancient manuscripts discovered at the site. The scrolls, preserved by volcanic ash from the eruption that also devastated Pompeii nearly 2,000 years ago, can now potentially be fully understood. AI
