Khairete,
this may be of interest to some of you.....[url:3275yfst]http://alexander.macedonia.culture.gr/2/21/211/21116/21116ek/e211pe01.html[/url]
includes an honoury inscription to Alexander....!

Even more interesting is this new site, still under construction........Ancient Script in the World: Macedonia......[url:3275yfst]http://ancientmacedonianscript.blog.com.mk/node/2552[/url]
It seems if you are a lady talking to an ancient Illyrian and he asks to see your bra....he is asking for your brother....so do not slap him.... :wink:
Dover (in England) is a Paeonian word meaning trust, belief or faith.... :?

the first site is neat and useful. the second is... :roll: Well, let's just say it has few if any redeeming qualities. Such gems as
Quote:LONG,SO LONG TIME BEFORE SUMERIANS,ASIRIANS,ALL MESOPOTHAMIANS CULTURES,EGYPTIANS,PHENICIANS,"GREEKS"......SCRIPT IS BORN AT MACEDONIAN PENINSULA

It even has a page dedicated to the "Greek and Bulgarian Lairs" [sic - they seem to mean "liars"], placing those groups' origins in the sub-Sahara...


Dover was known to the Romans as Dubris, from a native British word for "water."

Agree with Dan.

Well as the for the second link....free speech is not necesarily true speech :twisted:

As for the most ancient script in Macedonia is from Dispilio Castoria and it is in Linear A (Greek!). If you want an image plase ask.

Khairete,
I realised after posting the second link that the site was rather 'biased' when I had another look :oops:
But I thought the Script pages would be acceptable as there are some amongst us with an interest in the Argaed Royal House and obviously the language they spoke.... :wink:
Apologies.... :oops:
Yes please, Stefanos.......!

Cristina the inscription you presented is a linear B tablet in the Herakeion Meuseum in Crete. It describes the equipment of a warlord of the Kourites warrior fraternity of the Bronze age.
Attached please seeare the linear A tablet found in Dispilio in Macedonia.
No two scholars agree in its translation yet except the Linear A was Greek.
Kind reagrds
