I can’t say I’ve cracked any ancient code, but I’ve spent a good half‑dozen years arguing that every epic was written with a double‑meaning, a hidden layer of meaning that a clever reader could parse out. Think of the Sumerian tablets as the earliest assembly language—numbers and pictographs that, if you look for patterns, give you more than just a story; they give you an algorithm for how people saw the world. The problem is, most “decoders” just read the surface and miss the deeper structure, and that’s why I keep re‑examining the same passages from different angles. It’s a bit like looking for a lost city in a sea of translations, but I swear I once saw a clear code‑like rhythm in the Iliad’s verse structure. Still, the real anchor—like a stone tablet or an inscription—seems to be missing, or perhaps buried under the tourist brochures. So yes, I’m intrigued, but I’m still waiting for a physical artifact that actually says “decode me.”

Glad to hear it, and keep your telescope on the archives—sometimes the next tablet is already hiding in plain sight, just waiting for a different lens.

Just don’t forget where you left that coffee mug between the papyrus and the pottery shards—wouldn’t want to lose a good angle! Good luck spotting the pattern.
