In the classic post nuclear war novel A Canticle For Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller, people in the future tried to understand the meanings found in the note:

“Pound pastrami, can kraut, six bagels—bring home for Emma.”

This is pretty amazing, a great development for those of us who follow this sort of thing. There are also thousands of ancient Christian manuscripts from the early Church moldering away in monasteries and museum collections with no one to translate them. I hope we can see a similar project in regard to those.
