Researchers use AI to translate texts from 5,000 years ago into forgotten language; and the machine understands better decrees than poems

 The oldest known writing system is the cuneiform, invented in Mesopotamia by the Sumerians in the 4th millennium B.C. (a millennium before the Egyptian hieroglyphs) to write on clay tablets with punch or chisel (no paper and papyrus). Over the time it was in use (until the 1st century AD) it evolved from an ideographic system to a phonetic (syllabic) and underwent variations to adapt to the different languages that adopted it as their own, most of them unrelated to each other. This meant that the advances achieved in the translation of certain tablets could not always be applied to those found on other sites. Add to that the low availability of experts in such ancient and minority languages and you will have hundreds of thousands of boards in your hands waiting to be slowly translated. Most of these  documents remain untranslated and inaccessible due to their large number and limited number of experts able to read them. That’s until artificial intelligence is used to lend a h...

5 cryptocurrencies rise up to 158% in 30 days powering the Bitcoin rally.

 BTC returns part of the earnings from the past few days while some tokens accumulate monthly high of three digits.



June Comes to End Marked by Bitcoin Rally Closing

with the cryptocurrency trading around $30,000 (-1.59%) this Friday afternoon (30) despite an accumulated high of almost 12% over the past 10 days, a percentage just above the monthly gain of 11.47%. 

But from the monitoring of CoinMarketCap related to the 1,000 largest projects in terms of market capitalization, some altcoins managed to surprise by printing highs of up to three percentage digits over the month. This is usually due to new listings, progress in projects and speculative factors, among others.

 is one of those cases, as the mining altcoin of point-to-point payments (P2P) was up 158%. This coincided with BCH’s listing on the newly launched regulated exchange EDX Markets.


Another highlight was the little-known NTRN, traded at $0.45 (-1.52%), token of the crosschain platform focused on decentralized finance applications (defi) of the Cosmos Neutron ecosystem, that seems to have caught the attention of investors by being cited positively in a Binance exchange publication on the last 20th about modular blockchains. This is because the token, which has walked laterally to this date,  accumulates a high of 126% in 30 days. 

The FTT, a native token of failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX, which melted in November with the collapse of Sam Bankman-Fried’s company, was swapped for $2.13 (+10%) and had a monthly high of 114%. 

The rise of the FTT has begun over the past seven days, which coincides with increased speculation of a possible relaunch of the exchange from the arrival of new partners. 

According to CoinMarketCap monitoring, two other altcoins stood out among the three-digit percentage highs, PENDLE (+121%) and ONUS (+118%). Another 13 altcoins, albeit on a smaller impulse, showed strong movement by the Bitcoin rally and the whale uproar.
