It involves identifying the letters or symbols used in an ancient writing, and deciphering the meaning of the text. It sometimes involves trying to restore a text that has been partially destroyed. This means that an epigrapher must have a knowledge of the writing system, the language, the genre, and the cultural context in which the inscription is found. <\/p>\n<p>Doing epigraphy involves the solving of puzzles, especially because inscriptions are rarely completely clear and undamaged. In this section you have the chance of solving some puzzles that are similar to those an epigrapher might run into. You do not need to know any language other than English to solve one of them. The other is simply a matching game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n  \n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--link-list \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--link-list\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      <div class=\"header-container\">\n\n                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--section-title\">\n\n    \n  <h2>\n          Games\n      <\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div>\n                        \n<div class=\"f--field f--description\">\n\n    \n  <ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/wsrp\/chicken-little\/\">Chicken Little: Text Reconstruction<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/wsrp\/papyrus-game\/\">Papyrus Game: Match the Fibers<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n          <\/div>\n  \n  \n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--link-list \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--link-list\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      <div class=\"header-container\">\n\n                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--section-title\">\n\n    \n  <h2>\n          Article Categories\n      <\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div>\n                        \n<div class=\"f--field f--description\">\n\n    \n  <p><a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/wsrp\/non-biblical-ancient-texts-relating-to-the-biblical-world\/\">Non-Biblical Ancient Texts Relating to the Biblical World<\/a>:\u00a0 Non-biblical inscriptions and documents from ancient times that improve our understanding of the world of the Bible.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/wsrp\/biblical-manuscripts-2\/\">Biblical Manuscripts<\/a>:\u00a0\u00a0Images and commentary on ancient and medieval copies of the Bible.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/wsrp\/biblical-manuscripts\/\">Dead Sea Scrolls<\/a>:\u00a0\u00a0Images and commentary on selected Dead Sea Scrolls manuscripts.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/wsrp\/usc-archaeology-research-center\/\">USC Archaeology Research Center<\/a>:\u00a0\u00a0Images of artifacts from the teaching collection of the University of Southern California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n          <\/div>\n  \n  \n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n  \n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--contact-details \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--contact-details\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n  <div class=\"inner-wrapper\">\n\n          <div class=\"header-container\">\n\n                      \n<div class=\"f--field f--section-title\">\n\n    \n  <h2>\n          Contact Details\n      <\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div>\n        \n                      \n<div class=\"f--field f--link\">\n\n    \n    \n  \n<a \n  class=\"link\"\n  href= https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/religion\/\n    aria-label=\"Read more about School of Religion\"  \n>\n    School of Religion \n  <svg version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" x=\"0px\" y=\"0px\" viewBox=\"0 0 35 35\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 35 35\" width=\"25\" height=\"25\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><polygon fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" fill=\"#000\" points=\"19.3,27.5 29.3,17.5,19.3,7.5 16.3,10.4 21.4,15.4 6.7,15.4 6.7,19.6 21.4,19.6 16.3,24.6 \"\/><\/svg>\n<\/a>\n\n\n<\/div>\n        \n      <\/div>\n    \n    \n      <div class=\"contacts-container\">\n\n        \n                      <div class=\"contact-card\">\n\n                              <h3>Office<\/h3>\n              \n                                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--description\">\n\n    \n  <p>Administrator, School of Religion<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n              \n                              <div class=\"f--phone\">\n                  <a href=\"tel:(213) 740-0270\">(213) 740-0270<\/a>\n                <\/div>\n              \n                              <div class=\"f--email\">\n                  <a href=\"mailto:religion@dornsife.usc.edu\">religion@dornsife.usc.edu<\/a>\n                <\/div>\n              \n            <\/div>\n                    \n      <\/div>\n\n        \n     \n    \n  <\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":230,"featured_media":140,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1511","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
