Researchers have managed to decode an ancient script that scholars have been unable to understand for decades.

In a study published in the journal Transactions of the Philological Society, a team of scientists describe how they partially deciphered the “unknown” Kushan script, an ancient writing system that was once in use in parts of Central Asia between around 200 B.C. and 700 A.D.

It has been associated with early nomadic peoples of the Eurasian steppe, such as the Yuèzhī, and one of their ruling dynasties, the Kushans, who founded a large empire encompassing much of what is now Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and northern India.

The new electric two-seater promises to reshape urban mobility in smart cities and will hopefully help lessen the effects of overcrowding on the roads.

Tesla, Inc. TSLA Cybertruck updates, especially from influencers and the company’s fanbase, have been coming in thick and fast. Future Fund Managing Partner Gary Black is an analyst who is upbeat about the prospects for the electric pickup truck.

What Happened: Cybertruck deliveries are likely to “far exceed” Wall Street estimates, said Black in a tweet. He noted that the current consensus delivery estimates for 2024 and 2025 are 91,000 units and 160,000 units, respectively.

Following the ramp-up, Tesla is planning for annual production of 375,000 units, the analyst said. The consensus estimates are at least 200,000 per year short, he added.
