Assyrian, Babylonian, Sumerian Translator Created

Posted by samzenpus on from the what-does-the-clay-tablet-say dept.

DrJackson writes "A new online translator that can translate Assyrian, Babylonian, Sumerian and Egyptian hieroglyphics (1 of the 3 types anyway) has been developed. This is the first time I ever saw a translator for cuneiform. Something like this would be great for translating interesting historical records like the Amarna Letters."
