There are a stack of lost languages that still need to be cracked. The perfect learning problem for artificial intelligence. A prize for the winning AI developers would be a good incentive too.

This exists already, maybe there are more of these deciphering algorithms out there that could compete to unravel ancient languages so a contest would be a good idea.

It would have to be a contest between AIs as humans have already been left behind in this endeavour. Ironic the futuristic AIs will teach us about ourselves and our past, better than we could do ourselves.
