Credited with establishing the cyberpunk genre, alongside Ridley Scott’s 1982 film Blade Runner, Gibson’s masterpiece diverges from the far-future or galactic settings often explored in science fiction.

Scientists decode ancient script that has puzzled scholars for 70 years

Posted by in category: futurism

Researchers have managed to decode an ancient script that scholars have been unable to understand for decades.

In a study published in the journal Transactions of the Philological Society, a team of scientists describe how they partially deciphered the “unknown” Kushan script, an ancient writing system that was once in use in parts of Central Asia between around 200 B.C. and 700 A.D.

It has been associated with early nomadic peoples of the Eurasian steppe, such as the Yuèzhī, and one of their ruling dynasties, the Kushans, who founded a large empire encompassing much of what is now Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and northern India.
