The ancients recorded their knowledge on scrolls, artifacts, and even cave walls. In some cases, the passage of time has erases our ability to understand a disused alphabet. In other cases, knowledge is purposely encrypted in complex codes understood by only a select (and long dead) few. There are many such ancient writings, pictographs, and ciphers that still defy understanding. Whenever one is cracked, it almost always yields exciting new information. Here are 10 decoded books, paintings, scrolls, and artifacts that allow us an unprecedented glimpse into the secret societies, lost libraries, beliefs, and rituals of Antiquity.

A fun page! I love the pre-Columbian stuff somehow -- it's so WEIRD. Didn't know there was progress with Voynich -- still, a bit fanciful to claim it's out of the woods yet as an elaborate prank. They've used ultra-modern digitech to figure out from the Zapruder film exactly what Jackie was saying at the moment JFK was being shot. She's saying "God, Jack -- you're getting it all over my dress!"
