A wooden tablet discovered at Dispilio, Greece, dating back to around 5260 BC, challenges traditional views on the emergence of writing. If the symbols engraved on its surface represent a form of communication, it indicates a previously unrecognized level of sophistication in Neolithic societies. This finding prompts a reevaluation of early human civilization and the development of written language.
So far, the ancient writing system hinted at by the signs and inscriptions on the Dispilio tablet remains undeciphered. Decoding this enigmatic script poses a formidable challenge, if not an impossible one, unless a comparable key is unearthed.
