How AI is unlocking ancient texts — and could rewrite history

Artificial neural networks are being used to decipher ancient texts, from the classical stalwarts of Greek and Latin to China’s Oracle Bone Script, ancient divination texts written on cattle bones and turtle shells. They are making sense of archives too vast for humans to read, filling in missing and unreadable characters and decoding rare and lost languages of which hardly any traces survive.
