Team studies 2000-year-old Herculaneum Scrolls

Researchers led by the renowned ancient artifacts expert Professor Brent Seales will be using the U.K.`s Diamond Light Source synchrotron science facility in the heart of Oxfordshire to examine a collection of world-famous ancient artifacts owned by the Institut de France. Using this powerful light source and special techniques the team has developed, the researchers are working to virtually unwrap two complete scrolls and four fragments of damaged Herculaneum scrolls. After decades of effort, Seales thinks the scans from Diamond represent his team`s best chance to reveal the contents of these 2,000-year-old papyri.
