nah. I'm more of Zodiac killer kinda guy.

@EspenJohannesen hmmm, after checking the wikipedia page, it looks like the previously deciphered messages are basically delusional ramblings and empty threats, there's only 2 remaining very short messages, and it was so long ago the killer is very likely already dead. I think the ancient languages may prove to be more useful lol

This one is really tough, for me. I went with Linear A, due to a combination of 1) We know it's a script, and not potentially other forms of markings (it'd be pretty disappointing to pick e.g. Trojan script only to find out that actually they're decorative marks/proto writing), 2) It tells us something about an ancient society (Voynichese is interesting, but if it's just "One guy really wanted to make a writing system", there are things I prioritize first), 3) It might fill in pieces of the puzzle on related societies and maybe even other poll options (and also the Phaistos disk, which isn't on here but of course would be interesting).

@sblaplace fair enough, you make good points :)

Apologies, just realised I forgot to include other and lizardman options, but polls can't be edited 😞

I don't know which ones have enough text to maybe be a story, but it's the one with the most text (other than voynich i highly doubt that's anything)

@digory According to Bing Copilot AI in Think Deeper mode:

So the most numerous are indus, quipu, and linear A, while the longest (besides voynich) are quipu and rongorongo

I would be curious to here people's reasons for voting how they did, Voynichese is the only one I have any real familiarity with, although I've heard people mention Linear B.

@asmith personally I'm leaning towards quipu because that's the only one where it's the sole pre-colonial writing system of an entire highly populated civilisational macro-region, all the others either have at least something else from nearby/later that's deciphered or are from very low population areas that weren't in a full state of civilisation
