Comment on To independently invent the concept of writing in which sounds are encoded into symbols from which an infinite number of words can be assembled, you must be a genius

  I think it’s unclear if it was developed wholly indepently or if it was done after some exposure to European writing.

  IMO it’s likely to be undecipherable because of small sample size, and the probability that the sample we do have was from a period of rapid evolution.
