The study of egyptology lacks enough funding to regularly work with Artificial Intelligence wish to welcome the Game Developers initiative but a usable computer translation from hieroglyphs is still a long way off. To take statins. Just as you could hardly translate korean texan into german with todays computers and if you could imagine how difficult it would be in to achieve a grammatically and linguistically correct translation from a string of hieroglyphics symbols into any modern language. And with. Scientists and gamers are working together to solve the riddles of ancient egypt the databases are growing fast as egyptologists contribute decrypted translations to the new digital hieroglyph library.
