There were no clues as to his identity and dental records and fingerprints matched no living person.
Duh, he was dead, so of course. ;')

I think the Phaistos Disc and Linear A are of genuine concern, particularly the latter. Some special purpose modern code is not of any great interest.

There are others of merit unnamed here like the language of Meroe, Etruscan, the Harrapan Hieroglyphs, etc.
