University of Minnesota students can be a part of discovering history by helping researchers decipher Greek characters on 2,000-year-old fragments of ancient papyri discovered in Egypt.
Their participation could also help develop an algorithm to faster assess data in different disciplines — the sole responsibility of the University in the project.
The team is collaborating with the University of Oxford in the Ancient Lives project to translate papyri preserved in Egypt since about the third century B.C.
The damaged fragments are available online for the public to identify and match Greek letters in order to translate works. About 120,000 people participate internationally.
