Name it and claim it.
Blab it and grab it.
From cave wall..
“Here I sit broken hearted, found this corner and only farted.”
“Good night. I expect more respect tomorrow.”
“Etruscan - Repeated attempts to decipher this language have led little further than the numbers one to six.”
“I hope the computer is working on this one now. Tons of great history that hasn’t been “read” in almost 2,000 years. Emperor Claudius (Tiberius Claudius Nero Germanicus) was the last known person to be able to read it, and he died in 54 AD”
I’m with you. Wonder how Claudius learned it? Wonder if there are any of the scrolls he learned it from still about?
Just as I thought, we’re screwed!
Claudius was, from an early age, an avid scholar who actually taught it to himself, in other words, deciphered the code that no one since has been able to.
As for the scrolls, I sure hope at least some of the ones he read from have been saved, they contain a treasure trove of early government workings that Claudius used to his advantage when he became emperor.
As long as they don’t discover a prophecy that says the world will end in 2012...............
A man walks into a bar.
Why the long face?

Thanks Red Badger! Thought this had been posted, but I couldn't find it. Must have appeared on Delphi or Facebook instead. :') |

My only point of contention as a layman, why use only Biblical Hebrew, when Biblical Aramaic and Punic Phoenician are known languages of the same language group that have the same base language, the Akkadia language.
I hope the translation software is more accurate than Babelfish.
