Cinco71 Posted February 7 · Member Share Posted February 7 This is amazing. If they were able to decipher all those scrolls, who knows what gaps in our knowledge of Roman life we might find? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Snible Posted February 7 · Member Share Posted February 7 Margherita Bassi's article in Smithsonian includes more details and an animation of the CAT scan. For background, the New York Times article from last year by Nicholas Wade gives details of the contest. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benefactor jdmKY Posted February 9 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted February 9 It’s interesting that much of the research that made this possible was conducted at the University of Kentucky, here in Lexington. We’re not exactly known as a center for ancient studies (normally more famous for basketball). Several years ago, I reached out to Professor Brent Seales and he was kind enough to give me a tour of his labs and provide some insight into his research. At the time, he was also examining a Dead Sea Scroll along with the Herculaneum papyri. Seale’s work was focused on only transcribing the characters, leaving the translation to others. It was truly fascinating to learn about his groundbreaking work. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
