Omnilingual by H. Beam Piper
"Omnilingual" by H. Beam Piper is a science fiction short story published in 1957. On Mars, an Earth expedition discovers the ruins of an ancient civilization that vanished 50,000 years ago. When archaeologist Martha Dane attempts to decipher the alien texts left behind, she faces skepticism from her male colleagues and rivalry from a competitive teammate. Her breakthrough comes from an unexpected source—a universal scientific truth that might bridge the gap between
human and Martian understanding. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
