If the manuscript was legible at one time to someone, it must be decypherable. Pass it over here, let me give it a go!  |

well what about that like mercury rising movie...? that kid was able to read what no one else could... what's to say some dumbass king couldn't read something that computers can't... technology isn't he answer to everything... 
Ofcourse tech isnt the answer to everything.. but im talking not only about tech. things which try to decipher it.. linguists, mathematicians etc. try too.. |

it is true that both human and machine efforts are being taken on solving this mystery

Yep! Better ;D
Besides that, machines are more fault-tolerant They dont know such thing as 'dern i need coffee' or 'oh 6pm time to go'...
Still its good to use humans to check and do some work too.

The problem with machines is they don't have twisted breakthroughs when needing coffee in the middle of the night. Machines have trouble "thinking outside the box", and from the sounds of it this really needs it ;D It sounds like a very personal code, such codes are best cracked with one of our fragile little minds  Not chips and wires. ;D |
