Abstract
The essay, published by the magazine 'Aeon', is a reflection on what Language Deciphering is today and how life can get complicate (or 'bizarre') for a glyph-breaker. In our times, glyph-breakers cannot be anymore 'epic' figures like Champollion, Ventris, and Rawlinson, unfortunately, and that adds some 'confusion' to their role in academia and in the world of Science in general.
