How archaeologists decipher languages that don’t exist anymore?
In: 68
Often they can’t, and there are many languages that we simply will never be able to understand. However, if the language is similar to one we do understand today, we can use that as a way to try and figure out what they meant. But if it is a written language that is significantly different from other ones in the region, and no one is still alive who speaks it, we just are out of luck.
