Until now, researchers and historians have been scrambling to find out what was written on a 2,000-year-old papyrus scroll found near Mount Vesuvius in Italy. Now a group of young scientists have discovered it with the help of artificial intelligence (AI).
Youssef Nadir, Luke Faritor and Julian Schilliger from Egypt, Switzerland and the US won the Suaveus Challenge. They also received a prize of seven lakh US dollars (more than five billion rupees).
1800 papyrus scrolls known as the Herculaneum Papyri were discovered in 1752. These were unreadable because they were damaged by lava flows caused by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Since the time of discovery, many researchers including researchers have tried to read them. Some of the scrolls were damaged. 280 seriously damaged scrolls were kept intact.
The Vesuvius Challenge, a competition to find out what is inside these scrolls, was started by Brent Seals, a computer science researcher at the University of Kentucky. At present only one scroll has been read. It is not clear what was recorded in it. The rest of the scrolls are in the museum with secrets. A reward worth crores of rupees awaits those who can read them.
