[ExI] Herculaneum scroll revealed

[Kelly Anderson]

And these are the same people who doubt that we'll ever be able to
scan cryogenically frozen brains... This is only going to get better
with time. Too bad they've destroyed so many of the scrolls thinking
that they were too far gone to get anything out of. Seems the same
thing as people dying and not being preserved.
