this was just ye olde shitposting in a literal scroll. the dude was probably posting old pasta.

And then he lived inside a ...crocodile.
Hahahaha

Cant really crack a cipher if there is no key to crack it.

if everyone had thought like that, the second world war would have been a lot longer than it was

I love how the allies figured out how many tenks and V2s the Germans had just by doing math to the serial numbers on captured ones.

If I could go back in time I would have done math instead of arts.

which part of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics encompasses archaeology and translation?

Do you want more of it?

>implying implications

That is genius; >The Mona Lisa!

>archaeology
probably applied earth science/geophysics
>translation
computational linguistics

They had access to the machine used to encrypt the text as well as knowing which words to look for in the translation, which is the most important part.
You can have a computer try keys all you want, it won't result in anything unless the computer can also check if it has found the correct one by checking for a word that is expected in the translation like "oberkommando" or "führerhauptquartier". Finding these cribs isn't much of a STEM task.

It looks so much like natural language it's probably natural language

Modern archaeology is a complex process. As an example, the current major exhibition at the British Museum is about the lost Egyptian cities of Canopus and Thonis-Heracleion, which disappeared under the sea 1000+ years ago.

The cities have been rediscovered and objects have been recovered from the sites. This has involved aerial surveys and marine exploration in the first place, then a variety of techniques to physically recover the objects which range from tiny gold coins to massive five meter high statues. Then once they have the stuff on land, they have to work out how to clean it, preserve (and/or restore) it, date it etc.

Even reassembling, transporting and presenting the statues is an engineering task- the biggest statues in the exhibition are supported by custom-designed metal frame.

Go and visit the exhibition if you get the chance, it's fascinating.

I suspect you need to read more about the history of Bletchley Park and what they achieved there before you comment further, user.

Interior crocodile alligator.

fun fact: when I was watching the movie The Imitation Game there was a scene towards the middle where Turing smuggles some examples of decrypted documents to Keira Knightley's place in the middle of the night. She makes a sarcastic remark regarding one such message that was a weather report. I said to myself then "well shit, it wouldn't be that to crack if every message ended in Heil Hitler"

>mfw this is how he cracks the code (in the movie, anyway)

man that picture is fucking me up so bad pls delet

Y'know?

I drive a chevrolet movie theater.

dude weed

I think you don't understand what I'm talking about. Finding the crib means you find human error or guess the contents of the text. That's not necessarily something a cryptologist or computer scientist is best equipped for. In the case of the engima that required some information from captured Germans, knowledge about military terms, German, weather, greetings and reading through many, many messages to find reoccurring words or phrases. Now imagine what you need to guess for some surreal biology book.

Also are you seriously suggesting I don't know who Alan Turing is and what they did when my post clearly explains it to that user? Skimming hard?

Ever heard of cryptography, you illiterate fuck?
