It does not really say why they think these are not simply droodles. The picture only shows simple lines next to eachother, or did they choose the wrong pic to go with the article.? That the lines have been done by adults, not childeren, that is clear to most who have seen childeren draw.

Oh well .. most interesting information might lack in this article, if that information is really there, that is.

At times I think they overreason, those scientists. Want to see something in anything. As with the voynich ms. Something we all can not prevend ourselves from doing I guess.

Will someone out there get to see our digital symbols ever and will he/she/it understand?

Finding stuff from way back is interesting and fantastic though .. at least I think so, I know by experience.

Your subject is a little misleading – the English text is thought to be the earliest *found in a church*, not the oldest written English. There’s about 800 years’ difference…

All we need now are a ritually mutilated corpse and a strong minded yet vulnerable milf scientist and Dan Brown is good to go.
