In 2016 we booked a reasonably late deal cruise on the fairly new ship Royal Princess for a week in the Mediterranean. Mediterranean cruises are port-intensive ones so we had a stop on the very first day at Naples. We opted to take a tour that visited a cameo workshop then took us on a guided walk around Herculaneum. Herculaneum, like Pompeii, was buried under volcanic ash in 79 CE when Vesuvius erupted.

We're in the ruins of an ancient Roman city looking along a narrow street between buildings. The walls either side aren't fully intact with parts barely above head height and they're made of pale, sandy-coloured bricks, mostly arranged as expected but some at angles to form diamond or diagonal patterns. The street consists of narrow strips of flat, raised pavement either side of a recessed surface with a slight curve on it up towards the centre, made of larger blocks of cobblestones. It's about the width of a cart pulled by a single horse. There are some tourists gathered towards the end of the street and one woman is walking this way on the opposite pavement to us. A raised bank at the end of the street is topped by tall thin trees against the patchy sky and more trees at ground level can be seen over the top of the corner of the wall to the left of us. A sign on the wall reads "Insula VI."

Ancient “glass brain” mystery: how Mount Vesuvius turned a man’s brain to glass

In 79 CE, Mount Vesuvius erupted, killing thousands. One victim, a man in his early twenties, was found in bed inside a building known as the Collegium Augustalium. Scientists uncovered his remains in the 1960s and made a baffling discovery—his skull contained fragments of what appeared to be a black, glass-like material...

Ancient “glass brain” mystery: how Mount Vesuvius turned a man’s brain to glass In 79 CE, Mount Vesuvius erupted with devastating consequences, wiping out the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum and killing thousands. One victim, a man in his early twenties, was found in bed inside a building called the Collegium Augustalium. Scientists uncovered his remains in the 1960s and stumbled upon a baffling discovery—his skull contained pieces of what looked like black, glass-like material. A recent study published in Scientific Reports offers new insights into how his brain might have undergone a remarkable transformation, turning to glass through a process known as vitrification...

AI reveals first look inside 2,000-year-old Herculaneum scroll

AI reveals first look inside 2,000-year-old Herculaneum scroll One of the world’s oldest scrolls, dating back two millennia, originating from the lost Roman city of Herculaneum, long considered unreadable because of the devastating eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE, has yielded the first decipherable words thanks to new technology. By employing artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced X-ray imaging techniques, scientists have been able to virtually unroll the fragile papyrus and reveal lost words in ancient Greek. The charred scroll, known as PHerc. 172, is among many unearthed at the Herculaneum ruins, a city that, like Pompeii, was destroyed in the eruption. The intense heat carbonized the scrolls, making them too brittle to physically open. Among the first words deciphered from PHerc. 172 are ἀδιάληπτος (‘foolish’), διατροπή (‘disgust’), φοβ (‘fear’), and βίου (‘life’). All of these words suggest that the scroll could be a work of the philosopher and poet Philodemus of Gadara, one of the leading Epicureans of the 1st century BCE...

Your peace with us, since Mars, who governs all
Affairs of savage war, will often fall
Into your lap, by constant love subdued"

Ancient Roman beach buried by eruption of Mount Vesuvius reopens to public after restoration An ancient Roman beach buried nearly 2,000 years ago by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius has reopened to the public at the Herculaneum Archaeological Park in southern Italy. The reopening follows extensive conservation efforts aimed at restoring the beach to its pre-eruption condition. The CE 79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius was a catastrophic event that devastated the busy city of Pompeii and the upmarket resort town of Herculaneum. Herculaneum was rediscovered in the early 18th century during the digging of a well.

New podcast episode!

We talked to one of the leads on the Vesuvius Challenge, which is driving the efforts to read the carbonized scrolls from Herculaneum. This is a fascinating project and producing really exciting results, and we very much enjoyed our in-depth discussion with Stephen Parsons about his work and the potential for future discoveries.

A 21-year-old computer science student, Luke Farritor from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, has emerged victorious in the Vesuvius Challenge, unlocking the mysteries of the ancient Herculaneum scrolls. These scrolls, carbonized during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE, have long eluded scholars due to their fragility, but recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) are bringing them to light...
