这个挑战赛用AI读2000年前烧焦的卷轴，已经成功读出哲学文章，想看看AI考古新玩法可以了解。
维苏威挑战赛（Vesuvius Challenge）悬赏数十万美元，鼓励利用AI读取公元79年维苏威火山喷发碳化的赫库兰尼姆卷轴。该挑战赛采用高分辨率X光扫描和机器学习模型检测古墨水痕迹，基于计算机科学家Brent Seales的突破性工作。目前一个卷轴已被虚拟展开，获得超过1米长的20列文本，内容为古希腊斯多葛哲学著作。这一成功方法将推动数百个未读卷轴的后续解读。

The Vesuvius Challenge is paying out hundreds of thousands of dollars to anyone who can read scrolls no human has been able to open for 2,000 years. The Herculaneum scrolls were burned into solid charcoal when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79, burying a luxury Roman villa and its entire library. Trying to unroll one makes it flake apart and disintegrate. Launched in 2023, the contest cracks them with AI instead: high-resolution X-ray scans, plus machine learning trained to detect traces of ancient ink in the fibers. It built on a breakthrough by computer scientist Brent Seales, who first proved the hidden writing could be read without ever touching it. Now, one scroll has been virtually unwrapped, revealing 20 columns of text across more than a meter of charred papyrus. It turned out to be a work on stoic philosophy, possibly written by an ancient Greek philosopher. With the method proven, the race is now on to read hundreds more.
