Mind-blown by this story about the outcome of the “Vesuvius Challenge”: how to read burned and carbonized papyrus scrolls that cannot be opened?

Well, make a 3D CT scan, use the images to virtually unfold, recognize the ink drops, and off you go. Amazing work by three students (from Berlin, Nebraska and ETH Zurich).

Wonderful initiative by Nat Friedman.
