La IA ayuda a recuperar el texto completo del rollo de Herculano quemado por el Vesubio
Los rollos ennegrecidos y frágiles no pueden abrirse físicamente sin sufrir daños graves. Los investigadores han utilizado en su lugar escaneos de alta resolución y técnicas computacionales para "desenvolverlos virtualmente"

A major breakthrough in ancient text recovery demonstrates how artificial intelligence can extract lost knowledge from physically inaccessible artifacts. The Herculaneum scrolls, buried and carbonized by Vesuvius in 79 CE, have resisted conventional reading methods for centuries. This success could unlock hundreds of other scrolls from the same library, potentially transforming understanding of classical philosophy, literature, and daily life. The key question is whether the computational methods can be scaled to process the remaining corpus.
