A very well written article. Of interest also is the story of the Mahoubian collection, see http://mahboubiancollection.com/life-and-works/art-robbery-i... its confiscation in New York and following trials.

Many have claimed to have deciphered those symbols, but it's not even clear that it is a script, in the sense of a way to write a language.

Why? It's a fairly fringe theory with very little linguistic support.
