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.
Artificial intelligence could be one of humanity's most useful inventions. We research and build safe AI systems that learn how to solve problems and advance scientific discovery for all.
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.
MIT invents AI that could be used to decipher ancient languages
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.
DeepMind AI beats humans at deciphering damaged ancient Greek tablets

Would be great if something could decode the Indus Valley script. As mentioned here https://www.translatemedia.com/translation-blog/using-ai-crack-ancient-languages/
Get DeepMind on these problems, they matter more than winning at chess and go.
