Researchers have taken one step closer to understanding the past after they managed to use artificial intelligence to read one of the hundreds of scrolls that were discovered in the ruins of the ancient city of Pompeii.

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

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.

Researchers have generated an image of text from inside a scroll that was buried in volcanic ash with the ancient city of Herculaneum.

Nearly 2,000 years ago, a library of papyrus scrolls was incinerated in the ancient Roman city of Herculaneum. Now, for the first time, researchers have unfurled the carbonized remains of one such scroll—not physically,

Researchers have successfully generated a digital image of an ancient scroll from Herculaneum that has not been seen in almost 2,000 years. The announcement was made by the Bodleian Libraries, Oxford,

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.
