The texts were written in the languages of the Sumerian and the Acadian, which have complicated writing systems. Enter. Enrique Jimenez, professor of Ancient Near Eastern Literature at LMU's Institute of Assyriology and his team. They've been working on the digitization of all surviving Kuniform tablets since 2018. In that time, the project has processed as many as 22,000 text fragments, little tiny pieces. Quote it's a tool that didn't exist before, a huge database of fragments

I'm excited to see how we can take this knowledge and use it to further our current circumstances here. I think that so much has been lost over the years from beauty kings or power hungry politicians. So much has just been destroyed and thrown out. But to have a record that's kept from that long ago that is now readable it's pretty fascinating. I think you may be referencing the same but what I had seen online was a scroll that was actually fossilized through volcanic exposure

Thank you for your comments and your kind words. I am absolutely fascinated and excited by the whole prospect of being able to discover any and all of these ancient scrolls and what all is available by being able to introduce them to AI and to make the pieces connect together. My only wish was that we would be able to find the items that were in the library of Alexandria and to be able to go back even further and collect all that
