Many undeciphered writing systems date from several thousand years BC, though some more modern examples do exist. The term "writing systems" is used here loosely to refer to groups of glyphs which appear to have representational symbolic meaning, but which may include "systems" that are largely artistic in nature and are thus not examples of actual writing. The difficulty in deciphering these systems can arise from a lack of known language descendants or from the languages being entirely isolated, from insufficient examples of text having been found and even (such as in the case of Vinča) from the question of whether the symbols actually constitute a writing system at all. Some researchers have made claims of being able to decipher certain writing systems, such as those of Epi-Olmec, Phaistos and Indus texts; but to date, these claims have not been widely accepted within the scientific community, or confirmed by independent researchers, for the writing systems listed here (unless otherwise specified). ==Proto-writing== Certain forms of proto-writing remain undeciphered and, because of a lack of evidence and linguistic descendants, it is quite likely that they will never be deciphered. *Jiahu symbols — Peiligang culture, from China in the 7th millennium BC. *Vinča symbols — Neolithic Europe, from Central Europe and Southeastern Europe in the 6th millennium BC. *Dispilio Tablet — Neolithic Europe, from Greece in the 6th millennium BC. *Banpo symbols — Yangshao culture, from China in the 5th millennium BC. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「undeciphered writing systems」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
