Probably not, as the Elamite symbols seem almost entirely geometric with zoomorphic elements.

The main problem with Minoan and other ancient scripts like Sumerian is that they are now language isolates with no known living descendants. The Egyptian hieroglyphs were deciphered not only because of the Rosetta Stone but because Champolier realized that modern Coptic was a descendant of ancient Egyptian.

Interesting. Thanks.

Always a bit amazed, that even with computer analysis, there are still written languages we’ve yet to decipher.
