The Lost Scrolls of Pompeii: New Revelation
Alice Roberts uncovers the groundbreaking science being used by computer scientist Brent Seales as he tries to decipher ancient scrolls found at the site of Herculaneum in Italy. Attempts to physically open them have reduced almost all of them to dust, but Brent is combining cutting-edge scanning techniques with his own artificial intelligence software to attempt to teach a computer to read inside the scrolls without ever having to open them
