Rajesh Rao: 我致力于研究印度河文明的文字,试图通过计算机算法来分析其结构,并结合考古发现和达罗毗荼语系的相关知识来推测其含义。目前的研究表明,印度河文明的文字很可能是一种语言文字,具有线性、方向性和结构性等特征。虽然铭文大多较短,但我们仍可以通过分析其模式和与其他古代语言的对比来寻找线索。即使找到类似罗塞塔石碑的文物,破译过程也可能十分漫长和复杂,因为我们对印度河文明的了解仍然十分有限。然而,我们对印度河文明的了解,目前还处于起步阶段,未来考古发现可能会有更多突破。 Noam Hassenfeld: 本期节目探讨了印度河文明,这是一个古代世界最大、技术最先进的文明之一,但我们对其知之甚少,因为其文字尚未被破译。Rajesh Rao 的研究为我们提供了新的视角,他运用计算机科学的方法来分析印度河文明的铭文,试图判断其是否是真正的语言文字,并探索其潜在的含义。虽然目前破译工作面临诸多挑战,但它仍然是一项值得努力的事业,因为印度河文明的发现对我们理解世界历史具有重要意义。
