I didn't see a relevant thread for them, 3000 years ago Chinese fortune tellers carved the questions they received into turtle shells and ox bones. Roughly two thousand of the five thousand characters carved into the bones have been translated, leaving over half of the characters untranslated. Now a museum in China has offered a reward of $15,000 per character for translation of each of the remaining three thousand characters.
