Deciphering Ancient Scrolls Using Subatomic Physics - Earthly Headlines

in #science6 years ago


Brent Seales, an American computer scientist, has spent decades developing revolutionary technology to read and "virtually unwrap" ancient, unopened scrolls. The Jindo takes a look at the Herculaneum scrolls of Italy and its storied history of destruction & rediscovery, Seales's background and experience developing his technology, and the massive implications of deciphering thousands of the previously inaccessible texts on the future of classical antiquity as an entire subject of study.
