>why do archaeologists use CT scanners to painstakingly read fragile rolled-up scrolls from thousands of years ago?

I was under the impression that we haven't read a lot of old scrolls, tablets, etc. because it costs money and most of them are uninteresting. A lot of clay tablets just document financial transactions iirc.

I imagine the first human to be "revived" from a frozen brain would be quite a feat. 100000th? Not so much. Would the future archelogist still care about that?

I think I'd like to have my brain frozen -ideally after a long and fulfilling life- just for the heck of it but the chances of a future civilization with the means and the will to resusciate a large quantity of random damaged brains from the past is low.
