Some Encrypted Texts Have Been Unable to Be Decoded for Hundreds or Even Thousands of Years. AI Is Likely to Change This

Summary by Meduza
For more than four centuries, the Vatican Apostolic Library has kept a 408-page handwritten book, most of which was unreadable until recently. The text uses 34 unusual characters mixed with individual Latin letters, and the title page is written in Arabic. The key to the cipher, known as the Borg cipher, has been lost. In addition, some pages were damaged due to the book's age.
