In the face of mystery, Nat Friedman, Daniel Gross It is Brent Seales created a challenge to use technology and decipher the scrolls without causing damage. In this way, three students created a 3D model of the object and trained an artificial intelligence. The objective was to detect the ink and generate a digital representation of the text.
