Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system to help fill in missing words in ancient writings.The system is designed to help historians restore the writings and identify when and where they were written.Many ancient populations used writings, also known as inscriptions, to document different parts of their lives.The inscriptions have been found on materials such as rock, ceramic and metal.The writings often contained valuable information about how ancient people lived and how they structured their societies.But in many cases, the objects containing such inscriptions have been damaged over the centuries.This left major parts of the inscriptions missing and difficult to identify and understand.In addition, many of the inscribed objects were moved from areas where they were first created.This makes it difficult for scientists to discover when and where the writings were made.
