The scrolls are part of the Herculaneum Papyri, discovered in the 1750s in a luxury villa buried by the same eruption that destroyed Pompeii. For centuries, they were considered impossible to read, as physical unrolling would destroy them.

In 2023, the Vesuvius Challenge incentivized this

AI reveals the secrets of Herculaneum’s lost library 📜 A whole library’s worth of papyri owned by Julius Caesar’s father-in-law were turned to charcoal by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Nearly 2000 years later, we can at last read these lost treasures. Artificial intelligence has helped decipher an ancient papyrus scroll, using a combination of 3D mapping and AI techniques to detect ink and decipher letter shapes within segments of scrolls which had been digitally scanned. The first p
