A team of Italian scientists led by Graziano Ranocchia, a papyrologist at the University of Pisa, has announced the discovery of the burial site of the famous philosopher Plato in Athens using artificial intelligence techniques.
The exact location of Plato’s burial was calculated by analyzing ancient papyrus discovered in the lost city of Herculaneum near Naples, ‘Arkeonews’ reported.
The papyri were found in the eighteenth century, contain more than 1,800 manuscripts, and the manuscripts are preserved in a library belonging to a luxury villa in Herculaneum.
For the first time, artificial intelligence technology was used to read papyrus, and it helped to recognize the largest percentage of text, and this discovery was made while solving papyrus codes that tell the “history of the academy” of Philodymus wall.
Ranocchia said the texts indicate that Plato “was buried in the academy that bears his name in Athens, in a park near the temple of the goddesses of inspiration.”
Plato’s Academy is the most famous school in ancient Athens, founded in 387 BC outside the city walls in the northwest.
Although there is no scientific consensus on the circumstances of Plato’s death, this discovery sheds light on an important historical period in the history of ancient Greek philosophy.
Plato is considered one of the most important philosophers in history, the founder of the Platonic and academic school of thought and is considered an essential figure in the history of Western philosophy along with Socrates and Aristotle.
