For the first time, Old European Decipherment cracks the code of the oldest of all writing systems that Marija Gimbutas called Old European. She traced it back 35,000 years, while new finds extend that to 400,000 years and possibly 600,000. In all that time, the writing never changed. Decipherment was made by possible by analyzing two hundred bilingual inscriptions called Owner's Marks that employ the same syllabary. The result is a stunning tour around the world of what our ancestors thought about - disease, sex, death, marriage, hunting, inheritance. It provides a rock-solid syllabary and methodology that others can use to read their own favorite inscriptions or petroglyphs.
