The researchers swinging with an old pass that was burned to a fragile in the volcanic explosion that was destroyed by Pompeii nearly 2000 years ago.
The pass is one of the hundreds in the Roman Palace Library in Hercules, a town on the western coast Italy It was eliminated when Jabal Fisovius erupted in 79.
Excavations in the luxurious villa, which is believed to be owned by Julius Caesar’s son -in -law, recovered a wide range of rolls, but the material was so charred that the black ink was not readable and papyri collapsed into dust when the researchers tried to open it.
Pildren, known as Perc. 172, it is one of the three Herculaneum manuscripts located in Bodleian libraries. The document was actually placed on a computer, as it was revealed by multiple columns of the text in which scientists in Oxford are now reading. They said that one word written in ancient Greek, διατροπή, which means disgust, appears twice in a few columns of the text.
Dr. Brent Siliz, co -founder, told Vesuvius ChallengeIt is a competition that has made great progress in destroying and reading pictures of 3D X -ray images taken in Diamond, the national SYNCHRORON national facility in the UK in Oxfordshire. He added: “This pass contains a more refundable text than we saw in passing Hercules, Mossouh.”
Last year, Nat Friedman, an executive director of the American technology and a founding sponsor of Vesuvius Challenge, announced that a team of three students, Youssef Nader in Germany, FARRIROR in the United States, and Julian Shilgiri in Switzerland, won the 700,000 dollar competition (£ 558,000) Grand Prix after reading More than 2000 Greek messages From the last extraction of Hercules.
Just 3D X-dimensional X-rays-very fragile sculptures-the winners of the pink jacking computer programs. Then they used artificial intelligence to discover the place of ink on the papyrus and read the old text clips at the end.
This pass, which was believed to be written by the philosopher philodemus, covered the fun sources of music to food and exploring whether enjoyable experiences originated from the abundant, rare, simple or main ingredients of the meal, for example.
The Oxford Scroll operation was donated in the nineteenth century by Ferdinand IV, King of Naples and Sicily. The ink is more evident in the X -rays of those written on other coils, indicating that the papyrus was caught in a thick ink.
“It is an incredible moment in history where librarians, computer scientists and classic scientists cooperate to see the unseen. We enabled us the amazing steps for the front, and Amnesty International is able to look at the manuscripts It has been read for nearly 2000 years.
