In the last photo of the article you can see the lower part of the tile which must've been exposed to the weather.

My eyes may deceive me but I seem to see non-random patterns on the lower half that look like they could also be cursive writing. I wonder whether someone could image the tile with lidar or a scanner or maybe do a sonic density scan across the surface to see whether anything pops out.
