How does Vesuvius help to open the secret of ancient books buried on the mountain of eruption

An artificial intelligence helps a solution Ancient mystery from the Roman Empire Vesuvius passes through the libraries rolling from a buried library.

In 79, the eruption of Vesuvius did not dismantle Pompa not only, but also the city of Hercaneum nearby.

In a deep end of the surface, in the 18th century, the only ancient library in the world as a whole in the 18th century, found 1,800 papyrus books in the world as a whole. The library carbonizes, Brent stomachs, Kentucky University is a computer scientist, the Culiz, brent rejuvenates, said the attempts to open some actions to the ashes.

“People did not understand what they did. Thus, some rotations were actually thrown or burned, and you can’t put a blank space again,” he said.

Thanks to the 21st century technology, experts can now check the whole.

This technology is involved in a particle accelerator in the UK. Scientists produced light, which is 10 billion times more radiant than the sun. AI later used to determine the ink, no matter how weak you are.

“If I thought it was self-thought, if you could use this technology to see the invasive in the human body, why can’t we see everything inside an artefact?” He said the leaks.

To decipher the slip

They still needed people Decode what letters mean. Thus, the seals have started a global contest, which offers Vesuvius’ problem and award $ 700,000.

Three university students took the date by taking home, taking home Initially to remove words from a carbonized scrollIt was almost 2,000 years old.

By moving hundreds of more, seals have started the second stage of the competition.

“You will get acquainted with the methods that inspire the AI, you know that the new results we are not imagining, I do not think the vitality is a very strong word,” he said.

Leaks, as soon as you start scratching the surface of archaeologists, you roll more.

“I believe that the villa of the full dug papyr, gives you a really high chance to produce more books,” he said. “Discover so much for us.”
