AN ANCIENT scroll that had nearly turned to charcoal in the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD may be about to have its secrets revealed. After 2,000years, the contents of the scroll can

Scientists are leveraging a combination of artificial intelligence and X-rays to begin unraveling the mystery of the charred scrolls.

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.

U.K. scientists say they have made a historic breakthrough by making the first image of the inside of a scroll carbonized by a volcanic eruption 2,000 years ago.

Learn how scientists used AI and X-ray technology to digitally open a Roman scroll that was burned and buried during the catastrophic Mount Vesuvius eruption.

For the past two years, citizen scientists and scholars have been working to reveal the previously hidden texts of the Herculaneum scrolls
