I had always just believed it was because they were isolated, but I’d been thinking about it lately and that just doesn’t hold up. Can someone familiar with code breaking and encryption help me understand why they were nearly impossible to understand, while almost every other cipher was eventually cracked? Thank you!

This makes me wonder what language the government has created/dug up and kept secret in order to win the next war (which hopefully doesn’t come).
