In the 15th century a Venetian, Barbero, explored ancient ruins in the Middle East. he reported seeing a very odd writing inscribed on stones in temples and on clay tablets in Shiraz, in Persia. In 1625 the an Italian traveller, Pietro Della Valle brought back a tablet written with cuneiform glyphs he had found in Ur. Cuneiform was not deciphered until the 19th century.
