Some scholars argue that the symbols may be connected to the ancient Minoan language, Linear A, while others suggest connections to hieroglyphs or other ancient scripts. However, deciphering the remaining parts of the script remains a complex task due to the lack of direct translation between Linear Elamite and other known scripts like cuneiform. Despite this progress, untranslated texts in the Zapotec script remain, holding secrets that could shed light on the Zapotec civilization and their cultural practices.
