Part 6/11:

In an unprecedented scientific endeavor, Seales and his team engineered a transportation process that protects the scrolls as they travel to their scanning location. Using a facility in the UK—a synchrotron capable of producing X-rays billions of times brighter than the sun—Brent theorized that he might distinguish between the ink and the papyrus. The process involved complex imaging that created a three-dimensional structure of the scrolls, capturing every crease of the parchment, without causing any physical damage.
