(Rome = Yonhap News) Correspondent Shin Chang-yong = Italian daily newspaper Lastampa reported on the 23rd (local time) that the exact location where the ancient Greek philosopher Plato was buried was confirmed through a document from an ancient Roman papyrus scroll.
Graziano Ranocchia, professor of papyri at the University of Pisa in Italy, announced the interim results of the ‘Greek School’ research project conducted with the National Research Council at the National Library of Naples on this day and said that the exact location of Plato’s tomb was revealed.
Professor Ranoccia said that as a result of deciphering the Herculaneum Scroll, it was confirmed that Plato’s tomb was located in a private space in the gardens of the Accademia, which he founded in Athens, Greece.
Archeo News added that until now it was only known that Plato was buried in the Academia, but now the exact location is known.
This scroll refers to about 1,800 papyrus documents discovered in Herculaneum, an ancient Roman city on the Bay of Naples that disappeared along with Pompeii in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
Professor Ranoccia said that the location of Plato’s tomb was recorded in a history book written by Philodemus, an Epicurean philosopher and poet who lived in Herculaneum.
These documents were very difficult to interpret because they were burned or blackened by the heat of volcanic ash, and there was a high risk that they would break into pieces the moment the scroll was opened.
Artificial intelligence (AI) was the solution to researchers’ long-standing concerns and aspirations.
The research team led by Professor Ranocchia explained that they discovered 1,000 new words as a result of using AI this time, which is 30% more words than when they were last deciphered 30 years ago.
The study, which started three years ago, is scheduled to be completed in 2026.
