I don't think the professors etc who work in that field make a whole lot of money. It seems like more of a passion thing. I mean nobody is going to pay you millions for a translation of anything in any language unless you find a treasure map written in ancient runes that only you understand. I guarantee you millions have been spent trying and failing to decipher Linear A. And IRL isn't a pirate movie. If you find a long lost treasure map then someone else already found the treasure by accident a hundred years ago without the map. The historical implications are where the value is. There's a great deal of knowledge locked behind languages that no one can read. Stuff like poetry and boring political stuff. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv <cite>Tyranthraxus posted [p:954532319] in $10 millio...
