…how do people living in a desert, who on the whole couldn't read their native langusge let alone read a language the rooots of which barely existed then, read the infprmation from a CD which was in English.
A computer was utilized.
The laser in the cd-drive read the digital information stored on the compact disk, then the computer’s CPU converted it into a form that was displayed on the computer’s monitor.
The cd-rom was made in four different languages:
The Ancient Civilizations of the Mediterranean CD-Rom was distributed in the four languages of English, French, German, and Italian.
Which version taken back to various ancient people in the past is unknown.
They did not read the language.
They were shown the contents of the cd-roms (ie pictures and videos) and verbally told things from the cd-roms and of future events.
What language this was communicated is not known.
The still pictures were often called ‘visions’ or ‘dreams’, with the animated audio-visual videos called ‘watchers’.
