The Remaining of an Ancient Language Theory

It's one of those things that when you hear linguist experts and cryptographers talk about, it looks like something we should be able to read. But the deeper they get into it, the more they realize they can't. The remnant of an ancient language theory doesn't really hold a lot of water. There are definitely written languages that we have not been able to decipher until we have found some other text that has led us to cipher it. So I think that's one ofthose ideas that has an allure to it that has not really panned out.
