(ORDO NEWS) — Thanks to machine learning, researchers were able to decipher the ancient scroll. AI helped distinguish ink that scientists couldn’t recreate on their own. It turned out that the scroll is a book that is 2000 years old.
The ancient antique book belonged to the kings who ruled after Alexander the Great. As you know, after the death of this powerful ruler, his empire also collapsed.
In the text written in an ancient book, there are references to the Macedonian general Seleucus.
It was he who began to rule most of the territories in the Middle East. Cassander, the ruler of Greece after the death of Alexander, is also mentioned in the book.
The mysterious scroll was discovered in the Villa of Papyri in Herculaneum. This city was destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius.
It is known that in 1804 the scroll was presented to Napoleon Bonaparte, who gave it to the Institute of France. It was here that the ancient artifact was kept for more than 200 years.
In 1986, scientists tried to unroll the scroll to read what had damaged it. Only recently has it been possible to achieve success using artificial intelligence.
He was programmed so that he was able to restore the lost fragments and reproduce the text in its entirety. Scientists have only translated the content.
Although much of the text still remains a mystery. For example, they could not establish its author. Employees of the Institute assume that this scroll could have been borrowed at one time, but never returned.
That is why he ended up at the Villa of Scrolls, where philosophical manuscripts and other important works of ancient scientists were kept.
According to the content of the manuscript, it becomes clear that it said that after Alexander the Great, the rulers became worse and worse every time. No one could surpass him either in exploits, or in love for the people, or in wisdom.
