A Roman library was buried by Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Nearly 2,000 years later, AI is reading the burned scrolls without ever opening them. This new case file covers the Herculaneum scrolls, the 250-year fight to read them, Brent Seales' virtual unwrapping, the Vesuvius Challenge, and the June 2026 breakthrough that read the complete surviving inner portion of a scroll. Another scroll gave up a lost title: On Gods, Book 8, by Philodemus. Hundreds of scrolls are still sealed. Question for the room: if AI can read a scroll nobody has opened in 2,000 years, what ancient text would you most want it to find? File updated. Case not closed.
