Akkadian language inscription on the obelisk of Manishtushu-Wikipedia
It’s all Greek to me...
Here’s an instant where AI seems appropriately useful. I wonder if the AI model shows biases in its interpretation.
Now how about Cretan Linear A?
allowing automatic and accurate translation
I once heard a lecture by an Israeli scholar who specializes in the Ancient Near East. He said that none of the experts in the field knows all of the ancient languages (there are too many of them).
Fascinating. I am prepared to be surprised in any and all directions.
Maybe AI could be unleashed on the Venona Project intercepts, only a small fraction of which were ever deciphered. If the originals still exist. There are innumerable corners of the history of the period that could be illuminated.
Maybe the English comes out like a Google Translate product which is useful for giving you the gist of it.
Amazing. The ancient scribes must’ve been really patient with whoever was dictating this stuff, or Vice Versa. There’s a lot of effort in carving all those symbols, it seems.
I wonder if they got paid by the symbol…
Given that there is a cultural gap of more than 2,000 years in translating ancient Akkadian, this is a noteworthy accomplishment...

Where is the Rosetta Cuneiform Stela?
They should give it a crack at the Voynich manuscript while they’re at it.

Microsoft supposedly has an AI that can read any language, even if it never was taught how........................
