2.000 Jahre alte Papyrus-Rollen sollen wieder lesbar werden

Vor 2.000 Jahren zerstörte der Ausbruch des Vesuvs auch eine große Bibliothek. Hunderte Papyrus-Rollen sind seitdem verkohlt, darunter wohl Schriften von Cäsar oder Cicero. Neue Techniken sollen sie wieder lesbar machen. Von Anna Dannecker.

What’s up with using papyrus as the font for hospital pharmacies? I see this all the time. #fonts #papyrus #wtf

#Papyrus zählt zu den ältesten Beschreibstoffen. Es bewahrt Information, die bis zu mehrere tausend Jahre alt sein kann. Die Information zu bewahren heißt deswegen auch, den Papyrus selbst zu verwahren, konservieren und notfalls zu restaurieren.

Mind-blown by this story about the outcome of the “Vesuvius Challenge”: how to read burned and carbonized papyrus scrolls that cannot be opened?

Well, make a 3D CT scan, use the images to virtually unfold, recognize the ink drops, and off you go. Amazing work by three students (from Berlin, Nebraska and ETH Zurich).

Wonderful initiative by Nat Friedman.

as i was weeding the other day, i found what i think is a tiny #papyrus plant! i must have planted it & forgotten.

it looks just like the larger papyrus i have elsewhere (pic 3), including the distinguishing "tall bit with more leaves coming out" (pic 2).

i still haven't figured out exactly where papyrus wants to live in our climate, but these ones aren't dead yet!

they're meant to grow in water, but the air is water here, so they can grow in soil maybe
