Welcome to another edition of Cool Stuff Ride Home, Marcus Path, alongside Reggie Rizzou, on today's

episode, an ocean beneath the surface of Saturn's

moon. Artificial intelligence helps scientists decode ancient scrolls, plus mutant wolves with cancer-resistant

genes, and on this day in history, war of the world's chaos. That's coming up on cool stuff.

For a moment, let's travel back to the year AD 79. That's coming up on cool stuff. For a moment, let's travel back to the year

AD 79. That's when hundreds of papyrus scrolls being held in a library in the ancient

Now, with the help of AI, three students possessing an obviously keen intellect have deciphered a

portion of the scrolls for the first time. For context, the scrolls can't be unruled.

Scientists tried that when they were first discovered in the 18th century before realizing they would immediately turn to ash.

In more recent years, per GNN, some of them were held at the Institute de France, where they were imaged at the Diamond Light Source particle accelerator.

Don't ask me to explain that process. I can't.

These high resolution CT scans of the scrolls were then released to

anyone who wanted to try to decode them by Silicon Valley figures Daniel Gross and Nat Friedman.

In fact, Gross and Friedman, along with computer scientist Brent Seals from the University of Kentucky,

created what's known as the Vesuvius Challenge in March of last year, promising to dole out up to $1 million in cash prizes for engineers who could program AIs that read the carbonized papyrus.
