What´s New In History - Dead Scrolls Society: AI vs. Vesuvius
Manage episode 473350699 series 1111265
A volcanic eruption in 79 CE buried a villa. Two thousand years later, an AI read its scrolls.
In this episode of What’s New in History, we dive into the jaw-dropping breakthroughs that let artificial intelligence peek inside the carbonized scrolls of Herculaneum—and actually read the ink no human eyes could see. Ancient philosophy meets cutting-edge code in one of the most exciting historical reveals of our time.
