The super-educated folks at Oxford are in a bit of a rut and are requesting the talents and capabilities of the human community. They have released high quality images of clay tablets covered in Proto-Elamite, a script used over 5000 years ago in what is now Iran.
One of the major reasons the tablets have been so difficult is because they are likely full of mistakes, meaning that it is hard to detect patterns. Will this crowd sourcing work and spark a chain reaction? Well, if future archeologist are ever able to deceiver twitter and Facebook records, they'll be the ones to know.
