In uncovering what may be the most valuable recipes ever, 3 students have shared a prize worth $1 million.

They used AI to decipher the content of the Herculaneum scrolls in a discovery hailed by Professor Alice Roberts as "the archaeological discovery of my lifetime".

The scrolls - likely written by Epicurean philosopher Philodemus - were found to contain recipes for:

• A pizza topped with ash mixed with cheese
• A canelloni stuffed with truffles and anchovies
• A special canoli filling known as 'lava cream'

Australian pizza parlour owner Bill "Topo Gigio" Heslop told FNN:

This is a truly volcanic discovery.
