Ancient writings without deciphered






Writings Proto - Elamite dates back 3200-2900 years BC and thought to belong to the population living in the south - west of Iran
A group of British archaeologists are in the final stages of decoding the oldest writing in the world. The information given by Jacob Dahl, who is the project manager and the ' Ancient World Research Cluster ' .

Writings of Proto - Elamite considered a real challenge for archaeologists and constitute the oldest evidence of writing in a language that dates back to 3200-2900 years BC .

Proto - elamite which is thought to be a vernacular 5000 years ago, in the south - west of Iran , has existed for a short period of time , from 150 to 200 years 3100-2900 BC , and then disappeared , leaving behind self many unsolved puzzle , connect with people who have used and their characteristics. Today marks are saved thousands of ancient writing , which are stored at the Museum of Oxford and the Louvre.

But it seems that their mystery is finally freed thanks to sophisticated system RTI ( Reflectance Transformation Imaging) , which involves a detailed photograph (76 through the lens ) of each sign, in order to achieve decoding them. It took 10 years to study civilization 1,200 signs inherited from Proto- Elam and now researchers are finally close to meeting the fruits of their labor.

Regardless, there is a complete decoding of notation , British researchers argue that the examination of 10 years of them came to the conclusion that it is not write poetry , but a kind of archive status of the population that lived in this parts of Iran in antiquity, comprising the recording of property , crops and the amount of the population.


According to the researchers , the ancient society of the Middle East was ruled by a family, whose hierarchy was a middle class , which was the most numerous, and then the layers of the poor words , the workers were treated like animals.

However, there are still things to be decoded from ancient writing , which has long been shrouded in mystery , whose characteristic , which makes it even more difficult to decipher , is the absence of human figures, or other accompanying works , which is typical for ancient languages.
