An ancient papyrus scroll, charred beyond recognition during the catastrophic Vesuvius eruption nearly two millennia ago, has been virtually unwrapped and deciphered using advanced AI technology.

一卷在将近两千年前维苏威火山灾难性喷发期间被烧得焦黑、无法辨认的古代纸莎草书卷，已利用先进的人工智能技术，在虚拟世界中被展开并解密。

Researchers successfully revealed twenty columns of hidden text spanning over one metre of carbonised papyrus, all without physically unrolling the extraordinarily fragile document.

研究人员成功揭示了长达一米多碳化纸莎草纸上的二十栏隐藏文字，而这一切完全是在没有物理展开这份极其脆弱文献的情况下完成的。

The breakthrough represents a landmark achievement in the application of machine learning to classical archaeology and manuscript preservation.

这项突破代表了将机器学习应用于古典考古学和手稿保存的一个里程碑式成就。

The scroll, designated PHerc 1667, contains a discourse on Stoic philosophy addressing ethics, art, and human behaviour, dating to the second or late third century BC.

这卷被命名为 PHerc 1667 的卷轴包含一篇关于斯多葛学派哲学的论述，探讨伦理、艺术和人类行为，其年代可追溯至公元前二世纪或三世纪晚期。

Were it not for this innovative technology, such philosophical insights would have remained permanently inaccessible within the blackened papyrus.

若非这项创新技术，这些哲学洞见将永远无法在焦黑的纸莎草卷中被世人读取。

The document is among the oldest in a collection of hundreds recovered from the private library of a luxurious Roman villa in Herculaneum.

这份文献是从赫库兰尼姆一座奢华的罗马别墅私人图书馆中，所发现的数百件回收文物中最古老的之一。

The villa's library was engulfed by searing heat and subsequently buried under volcanic ash when Vesuvius destroyed the neighbouring city of Pompeii in AD 79.

当维苏威火山于公元 79 年摧毁邻近的庞贝城时，这座别墅的图书馆被灼热的烈火吞噬，随后被埋在火山灰之下。

Centuries of deterioration and misguided handling had taken a devastating toll on the scroll, which at some point broke in half.

数百年的劣化与不当的处理已对这卷卷轴造成了毁灭性的打击，而它在某个时间点折成了两半。

Previous attempts to unwrap the document physically had caused its outer layers to flake off or disintegrate entirely, leaving a fragment merely eight centimetres tall and two centimetres wide.

先前试图以物理方式展开该文献的尝试，已导致其外层剥落或完全瓦解，仅留下一个高度仅八厘米、宽度仅两厘米的碎片。

Doctor Federica Nicolardi, a papyrologist at the University of Naples Federico the Second, emphasised the significance of the accomplishment.

那不勒斯腓特烈二世大学的纸莎草学家费代丽卡·尼科拉迪博士强调了这项成就的重大意义。

She argued that although the full scroll no longer exists, the fact that researchers were able to unwrap the surviving object completely demonstrates the viability of this technique.

她主张，虽然完整的卷轴已不存在，但研究人员能够完整展开幸存物件的事实，证明了这项技术的可行性。

#12

Not only does it validate the methodology, but it also opens the door to deciphering other carbonised scrolls in the collection.

这不仅证实了该方法的有效性，还为解密该收藏中其他碳化的卷轴敞开了大门。

The findings are set to be formally announced at a conference in Naples and constitute the latest milestone from the Vesuvius Challenge.

研究结果预计将在那不勒斯的一场会议上正式公布，并构成了维苏威挑战赛的最新里程碑。

Launched in 2023 as a global competition, the initiative has galvanised researchers worldwide to harness machine learning in recovering texts from these seemingly irretrievable artefacts.

该倡议于 2023 年作为一项全球竞赛启动（即维苏威挑战赛），已激励了全球的研究人员利用机器学习技术，从这些看似无法挽回的文物中复原文本。

#15

Should the technique prove equally effective on additional scrolls, scholars could gain unprecedented access to lost works of ancient philosophy and literature.

倘若这项技术在其他卷轴上证明同样有效，学者们将有望获得前所未有的机会，得以一窥失传的古代哲学与文学作品。
