I saw cuneiform tablets over at the Penn Museum. The text was a lot tighter than what is on these tablets. Still a really neat concept, and it's neat that you can actually read it.

Tbh really curious if these will date to our era and confuse a lot of archaeologists later.

I saw a tweet that said, "2000 years from now nobody will know the difference between a booty call and a butt dial, and this is why the Bible is hard for us to understand." So yes, this very well could confuse archeologists in the future and I'm here for it!

That lines up with the far-future RPG 'Diana: Warrior Princess', set in the ancient 20th century as described by myth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_L._Rowland#Diana:_Warri... Her legend is beyond the power of one bard to sing.

If you were at the Penn Museum, you were looking at tablets mostly written in Akkadian and Sumerian cuneiform. Those languages are written in a mostly syllabic cuneiform system. These tablets are English written in the Old Persian cuneiform alphabet. The Old Persian alphabet, being an alphabet, has a smaller number of simpler signs than you'd see in Akkadian and Sumerian, which require hundreds of different signs that are generally more elaborate.
