The great philosopher of Athens and the founder of the school of thought, who is considered one of the most influential figures in human history, and after being absent from the files of death for ages, artificial intelligence determines the location of his grave.

An Italian team of scientists at the University of Pisa announced that artificial intelligence was able to determine the exact location of the grave of the philosopher Plato in Athens.

According to the Arkeonews website, the exact location of Plato's burial was calculated by analyzing the papyrus papers.

The papyri were found in a library belonging to a luxurious villa in Herculaneum. This city perished in 79 AD as a result of the eruption of Volcano Vesuvius.

For the first time, artificial intelligence technology was used to read papyrus, to identify the largest percentage of the text, and this discovery was made while solving papyrus codes that tell “the history of the Philodemos Gadara Academy.”

The texts indicate that Plato was “buried in the academy that bears his name in Athens, in a garden near the temple of the Muses.”

The burial place was accurately indicated by artificial intelligence, thanks to which the papyrus received a new interpretation.

There is still no scientific consensus on the circumstances of Plato's death. Some believe that he died while writing scientific research, while others believe that he died at a wedding at the age of 81 and was buried in the academy.
The papyri were found in the eighteenth century and contain more than 1,800 manuscripts. The manuscripts were kept in a library belonging to a luxurious villa in Herculaneum. This city, like Pompeii, perished in 79 AD. Result of the eruption of volcano Vesuvius.
