What's the probability that the VMS text is a completely unknown, never before encountered, European natural human language? I would say close to 0.
Moreover, even if we know the language but not the writing system, the task does not become any easier. Example: rongo-rongo (if this is a language, then most likely Rapa Nui. What does this give us?)
