Challenge page : http://www.ancientsocieties.com/whatever/

The challenge text says 頂きます.

This is Japanese and means Let’s eat, so the solution is probably linked to food…

Take note of the number of Ancient lines symbols for each line (A list of the 12 ancient lines symbols can be found on Stella’s Blog)

You will get this :

3 AKSUMITE
7 CAHOKIAN
3 OLMEC
6 HARAPPAN
2 MU
4 KOORI
2 SUMERIAN

Now, you need to find an easy way to create a word with the numbers and the line names.

The solution is to use the number as an index in the ancient line name. For example, 3 AKSUMITE, means you have to use the third letter of AKSUMITE : S.

3 AKSUMITE
7 CAHOKIAN
3 OLMEC
6 HARAPPAN
2 MU
4 KOORI
2 SUMERIAN

You will get this final list of letters : SAMPURU

This word means fake food :
