knowledge - A "Puzzling" Cipher


I thought I'd put together a simple cipher for all of you Puzzling lovers out there. If you need help, you can always look to the wisdom of the past for guidance. The answer is a single word, and each number below corresponds to a single character:


6, 7, 56, 10, 62, 21, 1, 43, 19, 27, 28, 61, 35, 48

Good luck!


Off by one errors abound:
Apparently I need to go back to primary school and learn how to count again.

All the numbers above 21 in the original puzzle were 1 too small. I've fixed the list, updated it, and double checked my counting this time, so it should be solvable now.


Hint 1:



Like any good puzzle, this relies on the wisdom of those who have come before, reaching back to the earliest foundations.



Hint 2:



While a society may define themselves by their wealth or status, what really counts is their overall character and the questions they ask.



Hint 3:




What do we really want? Fame and reputation are fine, but it's the title's we earn that are worth the most.
