it's a bit odd at the end referring to "a German high school teacher and amateur decipherer who, in 1802, looked at Aramaic-related inscriptions..." without naming him like everyone else mentioned - that is Georg Friedrich Grotefend. The explanation of how he managed to translate some cuneiform (but was then ignored) is interesting too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Friedrich_Grotefend#Deci...
