Ancient Cuneiform Tablets Deciphered Using AI

Groundbreaking Advance in Archaeological Research

Deciphering Centuries-Old Mysteries

In a groundbreaking development, scientists have successfully translated 4,000-year-old cuneiform tablets that were discovered over a century ago in what is now Iraq. These tablets, which have been housed at the British Museum, contain some of the oldest known descriptions of lunar eclipses and other celestial phenomena.

Using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, a team of archaeologists and computer scientists from Israel has developed a translation program specifically designed to read and interpret cuneiform. This program has enabled the researchers to unlock the secrets held within these ancient texts.
