For the past two years, citizen scientists and scholars have been working to reveal the previously hidden texts of the Herculaneum scrolls

U.K. scientists say they have made a historic breakthrough by making the first image of the inside of a scroll carbonized by a volcanic eruption 2,000 years ago.

Researchers have generated an image of text from inside a scroll that was buried in volcanic ash with the ancient city of Herculaneum.

A breakthrough out of the Vesuvius Challenge builds on past efforts to virtually “unroll” fragile papyrus documents carbonized into hardened lumps by the volcanic blast.

Researchers used advanced technology to digitally "unroll" an ancient Greek text on carbonized papyrus, and now they're reading it.

Researchers have taken one step closer to understanding the past after they managed to use artificial intelligence to read one of the hundreds of scrolls that were discovered in the ruins of the ancient city of Pompeii.

In a remarkable fusion of ancient history and cutting-edge technology, a 2,000-year-old scroll has whispered its first word: 'disgust.' What secrets lie within?

Researchers have successfully generated a digital image of an ancient scroll from Herculaneum that has not been seen in almost 2,000 years. The announcement was made by the Bodleian Libraries, Oxford,
