Could we be misreading some ancient scripts by assuming each line is meant to be read separately?
Could an undeciphered writing system encode information in two or more spatially aligned streams, where one row carries primary lexical content and another carries contextual, grammatical, emotional, evidential, or other information intended to be interpreted simultaneously rather than sequentially? Has this possibility been systematically tested in undeciphered scripts?
