A carved stone tablet found in southern Georgia bears dozens of symbols that have no clear parallel in known languages or writing systems.
The discovery suggests that part of the region’s written past remains undocumented, with implications for how early societies recorded meaning and authority.
The stone tablet was recovered from Bashplemi Lake in Dmanisi Municipality and contains 60 carved symbols that researchers are now examining to determine its age, origin, and possible function.
Late in the autumn of 2021, fishermen noticed the carved slab when the lake level dropped and mud exposed it.
Atlantis confirmed
My guess - 1800’s origin.
People traveling around selling all sorts of ancient things like papyrus was in fashion and made a ton of money. All sorts of “ancient” things were also manufactured during the time period as well.
New Unicode block incomimg?
Ancient doodling?
“Generally, the Bashplemi inscription does not repeat any script known to us; however, most of the symbols used therein resemble ones found in the scripts of the Middle East, as well as those of geographically remote countries such as India, Egypt and West Iberia,” wrote Shengelia.
So it resembles practically everything except Chinese?
well, the areas mentioned are the ones that nowadays use scripts descended from the egyptian hieroglyphics so they’re basically saying that it’s likely to be a script that also belongs to that family
My money is on it being rather recent.
Really sad that we haven’t found more context, but it suggests there’s a huge trove of new discoveries to be found.
