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?
