Mesopotamia is one of the world’s oldest known civilizations and gave rise to the Sumerian, Assyrian and Babylonian empires.
An artificial-intelligence program is able to predict missing words from cuneiform tablets that are up to 4,500 years old with stunning accuracy.
The tablets include information about Mesopotamia from between 2500 BC and 100 AD, but missing text has hindered scientists’ abilities to uncover the secrets of the ancient civilization.
The AI, which was taught how to read 104 languages, was fed transcriptions of 10,000 cuneiform tablets.
It accurately predicted the missing words, phrases and sentences, similarly to how the autosuggest feature on your phone suggests the next line.
A deep-thinking AI system called the Babylonian Engine is able to scan damaged cuneiform tablets and predict contextually accurate words and phrases to fill in the missing parts
Part of the Fertile Crescent, Mesopotamia was spread across what is present-day Iraq, as well as parts of Iran, Turkey, Syria and Kuwait.
It is considered the birthplace of mathematics, astronomy, agriculture, written history, and numerous other disciplines.
Several Mesopotamian civilizations, including the Babylonians and Assyrians, spoke Akkadian, the oldest know Semitic language.
They wrote in cuneiform, a writing form that employs wedge-shaped characters and survives today mainly on clay tablets.

Okay so this is interesting....
If they get a complete translation and put all that in a book... i'm buying that book!!!
I would LOVE to see what they were trying to say!
