I'm so excited for the future

What really perplexed me was the copyright 2009 at the very end of the documentary. So with editing and all maybe it was actually filmed in 2008? It makes me wonder what has happened over the last 11 or 12 years since this. The title should include the year this was filmed. This is all very old information. Why only 2 scrolls? I thought there were about 200 of them... but only my amateur view and memory from some other film about these scrolls. I also saw in another documentary that they suspect that the villa library where these were found that there is a second area where more scrolls could be stored and I wonder if they are trying to make a major effort to excavate in that direction. A great deed they are doing for humanity!

They have a 1 million dollar competition for programmers to make an AI that can read X-ray scans of the scrolls.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing this!

I wanna read that texts, be quickly

Hoped for a video about the scrolls, got a commercial for Skyscan...

There's a show about charred Dead Sea scrolls where images can be obtained of the writing, layer by layer.

Gracias.

The Roman's had better taste.

Don’t bother watching this, apart from all the downfalls of American documentaries (ridiculous music, drama inserted for no reason, repetition of irrelevant points etc) they don’t even bother scanning a scroll until12 minutes in, they spend more time advertising the machine they use to scan. Watch any other documentary on this subject if you want to learn anything at all.

Eyy, saved me the effort. Ima go read some transcripts of the graffiti instead

when will we see a translation of the scrolls?

I would expect handling of these items to require the use of gloves, to prevent acid and skin residue from migrating to them and damaging them further. The resolution of these 3D scans may not be sufficient, but I hope for the best.

Hi Kev! For years I wondered like you about the scrolls and this intriguing advancement in virtual unwrapping that Prof Seales with U of Kentucky so profoundly devised. Look at the "Reply" from Christy Chapman to my comment just above yours. I just saw a phenomenal presentation by Dr. Seales through one of the links and a lot more to go. It's a very complex and amazing journey and exciting to see at this stage.

So is there any text that was retrieved by this??? Where can I read it???

Where can i see a catalogue of the texts?

Is the ink a blue metallic pigment?

I heard they are able to read some of them virtually, by a cat scan type process, or something close to that, where they can decipher the iron used in the ink.

That's if the ink is iron based. Turns out most isn't. So its back to the drawing board on that one. The ink is made from carbon black. However there is home. "The noninvasive digital restoration of ancient texts written in carbon black ink and hidden inside artifacts has proven elusive, even with advanced imaging techniques like x-ray-based micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). This paper identifies a crucial mistaken assumption: that micro-CT data fails to capture any information representing the presence of carbon ink. Instead, we show new experiments indicating a subtle but detectable signature from carbon ink in micro-CT. We demonstrate a new computational approach that captures, enhances, and makes visible the characteristic signature created by carbon ink in micro-CT. This previously “unseen” evidence of carbon inks, which can now successfully be made visible, is a discovery that can lead directly to the noninvasive digital recovery of the lost texts of Herculaneum." If you want to google it.

I keep thinking...*shouldn't they be using GLOVES when they touch these things??*

I'd love to be around to read about yesterday's society.

Have you tried to scan a modern roll for test? Can you see ink there and read it?

Il vaudrait fermer ce laboratoire et conserver ces rouleaux d' une importance incomensurable sans plus les trippoter, les infecter, les exposer à la lumière, à l'atmossphere humide et acide.: il ne faut plus les toucher, jusqu'à ce que de nouvelles techniques permettront de les solidifier et surtout de les déchiffrer et de les rendre utilisables par la communeauté scientifique.J'ai eu des frissons voyant une collaboratrice porter l' un de ces roulaux,même précationeusement, mais sans assistance pour lui ouvrir les portes ou pour éviter une chute et la transformation en centres du rouleau avec les volumes perdus de Ab Urbe condita !.

Results ??? Where can I read what Philodemos wrote ?? As Philodemos was an Epicurean, he may have owned a collection of old books: can we hope to find original books written by Epicurus himself, f.i. the - lost - treatise Περὶ Πολιτείας ?

maybe nothing

All of the time and money invested and they finally get to read one, and it's a honey do list. Marcus, please go to the market and pick up some fish and a loaf of that round bread.

We always hope to unearth new knowledge or forgotten knowledge, but given the fact that it is from the home of the wealthy in the empire years after Tiberius, Caligula, Nero, and the year of the four emperors...it is probably a first century version of James Patterson paperbacks which we already have seen or read.

Without fail, every video with someone handling old documents has this same comment, usually upvoted to the top. Gloves are never used when handling things like this. Wearing gloves makes your hands less sensitive and makes you more likely to clumsily damage the document.

You're a special kind of stupid, mate LOL. I identify myself as a Catholic, because Catholicism shaped almost 2.000 years of history, arts, culture, traditions of my country... yet I have no imaginary friends in the sky. I take Christian values as a spiritual guide to be a better man. I'm from Rome, born and bred as a Catholic, and I will die as a Catholic, no doubt about it. It's a question of blood, soil and roots. But maybe you have nothing like that, that's why you write that kind of bulls**t.

The texts thus far salvaged, Nick, are from Epicurian philosophers who were not into "fairy tales and mythological notions regarding religion." Superstition and divinity was out, as was fear of death, notions of an afterlife. Instead, focus on living morally and ethically in this world. The closest comparison to a religion I suppose would be Buddhism. Thus I think we'd both agree that saving these documents is pretty important.
