I don't trust your source. 1900 BCE is Middle Kingdom, not Old Kingdom. Also, a lot of those older cryptic hieroglyphs turned out to be in an early Northwestern Semitic language. The idea was apparently that you're going to have s

Convolutional reverb means you convolve the impulse response of a system with a "dry" input signal to get your output. If the impulse response has any content before t=0, that content will cause a sound in your input signal to hav

I think the point was that the law, as applied to the ACS, does not fall under enumerated powers of the federal government, nor could it be reasonably seen to fall under the necessary and proper clause. The census? Sure. But not the ACS. As

Perhaps, but I'm skeptical. Transcribing the cuneiform script is difficult. There are hundreds of signs. Transcribing a tablet requires some understanding of the language because a sign can take on many different values (polyphony), so

The thrust of your comment is more or less correct, but you make several significant errors in the details. Akkadian, not Sumerian was the language of international diplomacy in the period you speak of. Sennacherib came later in the Iron Ag

It's beyond dispute that Mormonism is derived from Christianity and considers itself to be the restored, correct form of it. Still, I think you'd find very few theologians who would consider them to be Christian. Their beliefs are

I think the Stele of Hammurabi is interesting to consider through this lens. It was originally created in the 18th century BCE to glorify a Babylonian king in what is now Iraq. In the 12th century BCE, an Elamite king conquered Babylon and

Should Unicode be able to represent Egyptian Hieroglyphs? The lack of similar facilities for Egyptian is why Unicode is useless for representing hieroglyphs, despite having a goodly number of signs encoded.
