    This is a nice creepypasta story, but also overblown and misunderstood

    Unknowable? Hell no! "Loab" is the output of a computer program. The inputs that produced it are known. It's reproducable.

    People figured out the meaning of ancient Babylonian using nothing but some fragments of 3000 year old stone tablets they dug out of the ground, and you're telling me that the reason behind Loab is unknowable? Please!
