Mysterious Iron Age stone slab engraved in ancient symbols no one can read baffles experts after it was unearthed in a farmer's field in Spain
The 'stela of Montoro' could be the earliest monumental script in Iberia
Engravings contain bits of Spanish, Greek, Iberian and Canaanite languages
These cultures were all active in the Iberian Peninsula at the time
It was believed to have been carved between 9th and 3rd century BC

Mena: I think the Iberian peninsula was people by different ethnic group and at sometime divided in many kingdoms. I think the early ethnic groups and nations living in Spain like the Spanish, Greek, Iberian, Canaanite developed their own scripts based on the modification of the Phoenician Canaanite scripts (modern Western alphabet) and left their inscriptions in that tablet.

According to Mustafa Gadalla book the Egyptian Romany the Ancient Egyptians migrated in large number to Southern Spain and the Central Italian region of Etruria. Spain was the main country who colonized the Caribbean, Central America, South America, South and West USA and Portugal from the Iberian peninsula colonized Brazil.

In 2012, García Sanjuán from the University of Seville examined the rock from Montoro (pictured) and found the symbols came from a variety of different languages

Experts believe the engravings (pictured) could be the earliest monumental script in Iberia but no one can decipher what the extinct characters mean
