New Written Language of Ancient Scotland Discovered

Post by jan-ante »

Once thought to be rock art, carved depictions of soldiers, horses and other figures are in fact part of a written language dating back to the Iron Age

  • A new written language, belonging to the early Pict society of Scotland, has just been identified.
    Stylized rock engravings have been found on hundreds of Pictish Stones.
    If the writing can be deciphered, it would provide a unique insight into early Scottish history.

Well, since the argument is statistical, I'm not going to get too excited; statistical algorithms have a habit of finding order in the most random of sequences (e.g., stock market predicting). But, if the language is Celtic (P or Q?), then there should be recognizable peculiarities (and how!) in the data. Then maybe tp will have to learn to roll its ls.
