PHerc. Paris. 4

  • ... that it took a particle accelerator and machine-learning algorithms to extract the charred text of PHerc. Paris. 4 without unrolling it? Source: First passages of rolled-up Herculaneum scroll revealed [1]

  • I would not use the first one related to Nat Friedman. It sounds too much like an endorsement or promotion thereof. The second, noting the discovery of a work by Philodemus, is reasonable and is sourced reliably (Nature). Ifly6 (talk) 05:55, 10 February 2024 (UTC)


General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.
Overall: Nice article on interesting topic. Funny how so much high-tech is needed to reveal a fairly mundane text! I prefer the original hook, which is more succinct then ALT2. -- P 1 9 9   18:00, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
