Scientists uncover 2,000-year-old papyrus buried by volcano

The "Vesuvius Challenge" initiative successfully decoded texts from ancient Herculaneum scrolls using artificial intelligence. For the first time, researchers managed to unroll an entire scroll measuring a meter and a half across 20 columns, which had been considered illegible for decades. These scrolls, discovered in the city of Herculaneum after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, date back to the second or third century BC and contain philosophical discussions that may reflect Stoic ideas. This achievement is historic, as it opens new horizons for understanding ancient texts that are extremely fragile and difficult to preserve.
