[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 611220, member: 55"]This should be the link to the full article. [URL]https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02639904.2019.1599566[/URL] It begins with the abstract or summary, then continues with introduction, and analysis of the language, the text, and another similar manuscript. I'm not offering any opinion as to whether he has "solved" it, as so many have claimed before him. The article does make it sound plausible, but there have been previous plausible attempts. The manuscript is nearly illegible, IMHO, so this interpretation, like one previous opinion that 80% of the words are Hebrew, is based on trying to "read" the text; not an easy task. The article linked by Kronos above is a very scholarly analysis of Cheshire's supposed solution, and makes a very plausible case that the solution is an example of confirmation bias, where the researcher sees what they expected to see from the start.[/QUOTE]
