    From a CNN article from 2024 "“If you look at the level of the vocabulary (from the passages), there is a really nuanced, intellectual conversation going on here. … It just makes me excited to want to deliver to the scholars an absolutely pristine, complete copy of what this is, so that they can do their work, and then we can fully understand it,” said Seales, who originally created the unwrapping method and has been developing the technology for nearly 20 years." I'm so glad professor Seales was able to decipher them and got the recognition he deserved.

      I think the refusal to let the person able to decipher them is absolutely down to what is said at 0.35. There is precedent of that attitude.

      ​@CaptainDickGs his tech is better than that of the Italians hence why they (the place that holds the scrolls) is finally considering the American scientist to be able to study them and take a look at them. For crisis sakes one of the Italians even admitted that his tech is impressive. They all have big egos though, pretty easy to see 🤣

    An update from 2024 - The content of most of the previously opened Herculaneum scrolls relates to the Epicurean school of philosophy, founded by the Athenian philosopher Epicurus, who lived from 341 to 270 bc. The scrolls seem to have formed the working library of a follower of Epicurus named Philodemus.

      It's not totally wrong, actually.
      They seem to contain writings of Epicurean school of philosophy. Epicureus teaches us to worship life and humanity, not abundance and power.
      Though gods do exist, they are best appreciated by appreciating life.
      Example: One Orio tastes as good as 10 do, so why eat all 10 when 10 people could have the pleasure.

      To be honest there's powers that will stop at nothing to foil any attempt to read or find anything ancient especially if it's thought to be religious in nature. We have thousands of clay tablets that don't need any sort of machine to xray the inside ... simple just translate... they won't because the few they have already translated were similar stories to that of the Bible that were written thousands of years before the Bible making the origins of Bible stories lies and proves the Bible was just a book written by man with hand picked ancient texts leaving out the stories they didn't want to tell or those that didn't fit into religious narratives. In short they are scared to really know or have truth or anything to contradict religious text.

The next challenge: read 90% of each of four scrolls from the collection of the Institut de France in Paris.

      This strategy isn't gonna work buddy. You can't just say "X is more historically important than Y" when we know it's not. What's the point in this strategy? The theological or metaphysical *would* be more important and it's absolutely nauseating to pretend like that's debatable. It's not. So are you done.

      I agree about not having the mask but I've had conservation training and they no longer recommend using cotton, latex or nitrile gloves while working with friable or fragile materials anymore. The lost of dexterity and tactile sensations is more risky to the specimen and it's possible to apply too much pressure and damage it. Now the gold standard on handling antiquities is a good and thorough handwashing to remove oils unless said object has a known carcinogen like an arsenic green, then a barrier such as gloves are used.
