Opening five-thousand-year-old letters

Humanity still holds writing systems and historical records that no accepted reading has resolved. We approach them through documented evidence, reproducible analysis and independent criticism—not through declarations of certainty.

Mission

The Decipherment Research Group digitizes primary material, standardizes sign corpora, tests structural hypotheses and records the evidence behind every public claim. Negative results and unresolved questions remain part of the record.

How we work

Primary material → structured corpus → quantitative analysis → independent review → staged publication.

Translation policy

Core research data, sources, coordinates, media and lifecycle status remain shared across languages. Translated interpretation is versioned separately and clearly marked until it has received human and scientific review.
