It's really interesting to read unknown writings. It was just the same when I learnt the ancient Hungarian writing, that looks like germanic runes/futhark. What do you think, could we try together to decipher any of them? :))) There's still the Etrurian writing system (I think that's what it is called) I heard much of, but know nothing about it.
