AI Just Read Scrolls Burnt by Vesuvius 2,000 Years Ago — Revealing Lost Wisdom of Ancient Philosophers

Scientists revealed an ancient Greek text from a carbonized Herculaneum scroll using high-resolution scanning and artificial intelligence

In a landmark achievement for archaeology and the study of ancient philosophy, researchers have digitally “unrolled” and are reading large sections of carbonized papyri buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD. The Vesuvius Challenge provides the first near-complete reading of one scroll and confirms certain previously unknown books by the Epicurean Philodemus. These discoveries are being hailed as among the most important in recent decades for papyrology and, especially, for classical studies, offering new insights into both Hellenistic and Roman texts after almost two thousand years of silence.

The Vesuvius Challenge

The papyri recovered from Herculaneum are the only surviving library from classical antiquity, as they were carbonized by the heat and ash of the Mount Vesuvius eruption. For centuries, physical reopenings unfortunately destroyed many of these scrolls. To increase the potential speed of future decipherments, the Vesuvius Challenge announced that it will make all of its data, computer code, and digital models of the Herculaneum papyri available online for free. The organizers of the project have also launched a million-dollar prize for the first person or team to decipher and read another unopened scroll.
