As a player, this main hall is sadly too clean and the 'inscription' too complex.
Sadly, I don't believe that going to ultraviolet light will reveal anything like: remnants of paint, blood, etcetera.
The 'alphabet' (glyphs, symbols, whatever) seems to defy logic. Extremely complex symbols? When, in our world, we look at numbers, one was made with one angle, w was made with 2 angles, 3... etcetera. And if the letters are tied to sounds (like phonics of the Phoenician alphabet), how many different sounds did the ancient builders have in their language?
By the description, the 'text' is made of 'words' not longer than four characters.
Stylized 'hieroglyphics'?
Perhaps more clues will present themselves?
I will have to be on the lookout.
You're only in the entry room. There's still an entire structure to explore. Don't expect literally the first thing you see to be an important, mystery-solving clue. If it was that easy, it would have been solved three decades ago.
