The scrolls were discovered in the mid 18th century by an Italian farmer
A set of ancient texts burned by the volcanic eruption on Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. have been deciphered thanks to a team of researchers using AI.
The nearly 2,000-year-old texts were unreadable after being charred in a villa in Herculaneum, a Roman town near Pompeii.
Believed to have been owned by the father-in-law of Julius Caesar, the texts were carbonized by the heat of the volcanic debris.
The ancient texts remained undiscovered for centuries until an Italian farmer discovered the villa in the mid-eighteenth century.
