Researchers have just discovered and decoded a language lost for thousands of years, and have translated the names of the lost gods of Mesopotamia. The text was found on ancient tablets, one side containing text in the Old Babylonian dialect of the Akkadian language, and the other containing text in Amorite, a language researchers believed existed but had never confirmed. The Old Babylonian text translated the Amorite, which is a precursor to Hebrew. Previously, researchers were aware of only a handful of Amorite nouns, and some doubted the language ever existed.
Interestingly, part of the tablet names the Amorite pantheon.
If you think the last thing the 21st century needs is an invocation of ancient gods, we’re on the same page. Who are these gods? Where have the been? What do they want today? What happens next?
