[QUOTE]Originally posted by Chimu: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [QB] Jaime you have been so busy trolling that you have not kept up with recent research. As I stated before everyone accepts the fact that the Olmec writing exist as proven by the recent article in National Geographic.[/QUOTE]LOL. Nice try. The Cascajal tablet hasn't been proven as writing yet. And your bogus decipherement is not valid. One sign of a bogus system is one that can read any language using the same symbols. Here, Winters claims to be reading this stone using Vai symbols with Mande words, but he also claimed to read the Mojarra stone, which has quite different symbols, as the paper points out, using the very same Vai symbols. [QUOTE]You claim the Mande can not read the Vai syllabaries but they continue to produce documents and artifacts in Vai today.[/QUOTE]Nice try. I said Mande who can read Vai syllabaries see no Vai in the Olmec symbols. Only your deluded self does. I forwarded the images and your supposed translations to multiple Mande scholars and they were highly amused. [QUOTE]You claim that Landa was wrong about the Tutul Xiu, being foriegners. This is impossible Landa, wrote this quote hundreds of years ago, their is no way you can say he is wrong when he was on the scene to collect the Mayan tradition. Don't forget it was Landa's work which helped researchers learn to read the Mayan script.[/QUOTE]LOL. I guess you have never heard of progression of studies or multiple sources. You think he was the only one to speak to the Mayans? You also seem to forget Landa was the one who burned many of the Codices and was particularly biased in what he chose to report or not. Landa never deciphered the Mayan Syllabary as he thought it was an alphabet. And you are right that they were originally an invading group that joined into the Maya. But this was in the 10th century and they were Toltecs, not Olmecs. http://www.sacred-texts.com/nam/maya/cbc/cbc34.htm http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ah_Mekat_Tutul_Xiu Yet Mayan writing has been dated to at least 250 BC. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10724962/ And then you have the Zapotec writing. Both different to anything on the Cascajal Black which is still disputed on dating. As it was found among rubble. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesoamerican_writing_systems Danzante Stones [IMG]http://www.photostocksource.com/images/mexico-monte-alban/100545036-danzante-stones-lg.jpg[/IMG] Furthermore, the Cascajal tablet shows no resemblance to Mayan or Epi-Olmec writing and [QUOTE]Finally, Neil Steede published the only book on the bricks, if you refuse to acknowledge his contribution to Meso-American archaeology that is your loss.[/QUOTE]Don't make me laugh. He bamboozled the Mexican government, but he is a BA in general studies. He is a hyperdiffusionist. Claiming Ogham all over the place. He is a member of the Early Sites Research Society, which along with the Epigraphic Society constantly try to claim foreigners diod everything in the Americas. And you are wrong, other hyperdiffusionists have written about the Bricks as well. Barry Feel wrote claims that the inscriptions were Roman. I'd trust this book more than anything Steele had to say http://www.amazon.com/ladrillos-Comalcalco-Coleccion-Arqueologia-antropologia/dp/9688891215/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1207151047&sr=1-5 By an actual anthropologist. Ask him what he thinks of your theories. agarcia@delfin.unacar.mx LOL [/QB][/QUOTE]
