AI used to make ancient texts readable - shared by Vince Cholewa, 5 February 2023

By the Rivers of Babylon, but not Boney M. Instead, an at least 2,700 year old hymn from Babylon, recovered by artificial intelligence analysis of fragments of clay tablets:

The river of Babylon,) Araḫtu is its name, �(crafted by Nudimmud, the lord of wisdom,)

Waters the pasture, soaks the reed-thicket,

Pours its waters into sea and lagoon.

Its fields sprout with new growth,

In its meadows, aglow, barley springs up.

Thanks to its flow, mounds of grain are piled high,

The grassland grows tall, for flocks to roam and graze.

It multiplies, lavishes, and showers the land

With wealth and splendor—what befits mankind.
