Making headlines around the world, the University of Kentucky’s Dr. Brent Seales and his team of computer scientists set out on a mission to read the 2,000-year-old carbonized scrolls found in the remains of a villa in Herculaneum. Mt. Vesuvius’s eruption in 79 AD transformed the papyri, fusing together the layers of the scrolls and making them impossible to read. Can particle physics and AI finally reveal what the scrolls say?
KET will be hosting a screening of Secrets of the Dead: The Herculaneum Scrolls on Thursday April 10 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm EDT at The Kentucky Historical Society, Brown-Forman Room.
A discussion with Dr. Seales will follow the screening.
This event is free, but registration is required.
