Tom Stevenson · Beyond Mesopotamia: Linear Elamite Deciphered Three things are necessary to decipher ancient writing. You need lots of examples of the script. You need a good...

Deciphering lost scripts takes brilliance—and a touch of madness. 🌀 From Champollion to Ventris, each breakthrough unlocked voices long silent. Now Linear Elamite may have joined the list. Could we be hearing Elam again after 4,000 years? #Archaeology #AncientScripts #History

India offers $1million to whoever deciphers this 5,300-year-old script Archeologists and linguists, assemble! An eye-wateringly huge prize awaits whoever can decipher a 5,300-year-old Indus language.

The Indian government is offering $1M to anyone who can decipher an ancient script. Maybe AI should take a crack at it? It’s already been used to analyze whale communication (Project CETI)—maybe decoding lost human scripts is next? Links below #AI #AncientScripts #ProjectCETI #IndusValley

A Mayan vase, thought to be from 500-900 CE. It is mostly light brown, with darker brown strips at the top and bottom. The middle of the image shows a cartoon-like charcoal-coloured line-drawing of two kneeling men (a student scribe on the right, and his instructor on the left) facing each other over what we can assume to be some writing. The instructor looks narked, and the scribe looks a bit dismayed!

A Mayan scribe (right) and his instructor (left) – the dots and lines between them form an early speech-bubble, and it's thought the glyphs refer to sloppy work.

So here we have a 1,500yo cartoon of a writer getting a bollocking from his boss!
