🏺 This weekend, get ready to journey into the depths of ancient secrets with Alice Roberts! 🔎
​
Nearly 300 years ago, over 1,800 papyri, charred and preserved by the unforgiving ash of Vesuvius, were found in a villa in Herculaneum, Italy. These scrolls, a priceless collection of ancient knowledge, remained tantalizingly out of reach as attempts to open them left most in ruins, shrouding their mysteries in dust. And they probably would have remained that way had it not been for revolutionary computer scientist Brent Seales. Armed with cutting-edge scanning techniques and his own artificial intelligence software, he's now set out to decipher these ancient texts without ever having to open them!
​
These once-lost scrolls are finally revealing their secrets to the world! Don't miss 'The Lost Scrolls of Pompeii: New Revelation,' airing on Channel 5 this Sunday, May 12th at 9 pm! 📜🔬
