Decipherment
Decipherment is the process of interpreting or making sense of coded or obscure information. This can involve translating ancient scripts, understanding encrypted messages, or solving puzzles. The goal is to reveal the original meaning or content that is hidden or difficult to access.
One famous example of decipherment is the work done on the Rosetta Stone, which helped scholars understand Egyptian hieroglyphs. By comparing the Greek text on the stone with the hieroglyphs, researchers were able to unlock the language and gain insights into ancient Egyptian culture and history.
