The writing found in 1961 on the “Tărtăria tablets” is the first writing in the world, which we know of (5300 BC). Unfortunately, the signs have remained indecipherable until this day.

The Tărtăria tablets are three tablets, discovered in 1961 by archaeologist Nicolae Vlassa at a Neolithic site in the village of Tărtăria (about 30 km (19 mi) from Alba Iulia), in Romania. The tablets, dated to around 5300 BC, bear incised symbols - the Vinča symbols - and have been the subject of considerable controversy among archaeologists, some of whom claim that the symbols represent the earliest known form of writing in the world.

Ancient history is a fascinating subject for me. I especially enjoy ancient forms of language, writing and codes.

I thought other members might enjoy this article because it contains a picture of what scientists are trying to decode. We're a pretty intelligent bunch here. Maybe one of us will spot something the experts missed.

Interesting article. I'm afraid deciphering it is beyond me, but it's intriguing to consider that the Sumerians weren't the first, as I was taught.
