Researcher claims he's found Plato's grave after using AI to decipher ancient Herculaneum scrolls

An Italian researcher has claimed to have found the long-lost burial place of the famed Greek philosopher Plato who died around 348 BC. Graziano Ranocchia used AI to decipher the Herculaneum scrolls, charred papyrus found buried by the Mount Vesuvius eruption in 79AD, revealing new text that pointed to an exact location in Athens. The analysis showed Plato was buried in'The Academy,' a famous school founded by the philosopher in 387 BC, near the so-called Museion - a small building sacred to the Muses that no longer stands among the ruins. Ranocchia and his team uncovered 1,000 words, corresponding to 30 percent of the text, using the'bionic eye' - and believe they will have the papyrus completely analyzed by 2026.
