Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:Experts have deciphered writings etched on two batches of ancient Roman wooden wax tablets that were previously unreadable. The tablets were tossed into a well, presumably to ensure that nobody would ever read what was written on them. Roman officials in modern-day Belgium once tossed old wooden frames used for wax writing tablets into a well to make sure nobody could read what was written. The millimeter-thick layer of wax used for writing is long gone from the wooden frames. It wasn’t until much later that they were identified as wooden frames of Roman wax tablets.
