		Edward Hincks was a brilliant man whose major interests were apologetics and ancient near eastern languages.
		The German Pro-fessor Tiele of Leyden, a contemporary of Hincks, acknowledged him as "that great pioneer in Oriental research and discovery."[90] He followed this with a list of nine published works by Hincks on Egyptian, Akkadian, Assyrian, and Babylonian languages, customs, and mythologies.

	'An Introduction to Ancient Mesopotamia' paper by Ian Lawton (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		By 1850, and with the help of other scholars - in particular Irishman Edward Hincks and Frenchman Jules Oppert, the three becoming known as cuneiform’s 'holy triad' - the decipherment of both the first and second Class (which proved to be Elamite) was more or less complete.
		These three then turned their attention to the third Class, and realised that the huge number of symbols and variants thereof were caused by the fact that the language and its symbols were both syllabic and ideographic - the latter meaning that whole words could be written with one symbol.
		This launched a tidal wave of scholarly effort directed towards the increasing numbers of Akkadian tablets being found at Nineveh and elsewhere, the translation of which from a linguistic point of view is now reasonably assured.

		As early as 1850, however, Hincks began to doubt that the Semitic inhabitants of Assyria and Babylonia had invented the cuneiform system of writing.
		Hincks thus began to suspect that the cuneiform system of writing was invented by a non-Semitic people who had preceded the Semites in Mesopotamia.
		In 1856 Hincks took up the problem of this new language, recognized that it was agglutinative in character, and gave the first examples from bilinguals which had come to the British Museum from the Nineveh excavations.

		He was then able to find an enterprising local boy to climb up a crack in the cliff and rig ropes across the Akkadian writing, so that papier-mache casts of it could be taken.
		Rawlinson set to work and translated the Akkadian writing and language, working independently of Edward Hincks, Julius Oppert and William Henry Fox Talbot, who also contributed to the decipherment; Edwin Norris and others were the first to do the same for the Elamite.
		As three of the primary languages of Mesopotamia, and three variations of the cuneiform script, these decipherments were one of the keys to putting Assyriology on a modern footing.

		Hincks spent their first night in the new cabin on August 28, 1905, and in subsequent years the families at Gray Knob and Spur Cabin shared various mountain adventures.
		The last of the high cabins, Crag Camp, was built at 4,200 feet by John Boothman for Nelson Harvey Smith in the winter of 1909-10.

		He was not without rivals in his decipherment work, as many others were working on the problem, and Rawlinson's biggest threat was Edward Hincks, a brilliant scholar and parish priest from Ireland, but whose worst enemy was lack of money.
		Rawlinson only received the material at the end of 1854, just when his cuneiform studies were eclipsed by his bitter disappointment at not getting a much-coveted job in Tehran and at the same time having a serious fall from a horse, leading to his retirement back to England.
		As I explain on page 336 of Empires of the Plain, Talbot urged Hincks to get the British Museum to publish his work, but Hincks was by then too embittered to do so: his own worst enemy.

	Empires of the Plain: Henry Rawlinson and the Lost Languages of Babylon - PowerBookSearch!
		An immense inscription high on a sheer rock face at Bisitun in the mountains of western Iran, carved on the orders of King Darius the Great of Persia over two thousand years ago, was the key to understanding the many cuneiform scripts and languages.
		While based in Baghdad, Rawlinson became involved in the very first excavations of the ancient mounds of Mesopotamia, from Nineveh to Babylon - the great flood plain of the Tigris and the Euphrates Rivers that had been fought over by so many civilizations, revealing intriguing details of everyday life and forgotten historical events.
		The deciphering of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic writing is a relatively well-known achievement, but the decoding of cuneiform writing is far less known and all the more remarkable because it was made possible by a trilingual inscription including no known language.
