New Members LPS Posted February 10, 2018 at 09:00 PM New Members Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 at 09:00 PM Please can someone help me with some possible origin and meanings for these pictographs/ideograms?

ZC Posted February 11, 2018 at 01:04 AM Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 at 01:04 AM Do you have any context for these? That would definitely help in id-ing them! It looks, to a non archeologist like myself, like they might predate shell and bone script. Some certainly have some resemblance to modern characters, 25 bears some resemblance to 土 (tu) which is something close to earth/dirt/ground and 7 somewhat resembles 日 (ri) which is sun/day but many are not immediately recognizable to me (but I may not be the most informed). Another good resource might be to look for people with a strong archaeology background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hofmann Posted February 11, 2018 at 01:10 AM Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 at 01:10 AM I know some people who might charge you. You have a budget for this stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imron Posted February 11, 2018 at 03:43 AM Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 at 03:43 AM I think these have nothing to do with Chinese. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneEye Posted February 11, 2018 at 03:52 AM Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 at 03:52 AM Definitely not Chinese. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Publius Posted February 11, 2018 at 04:16 AM Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 at 04:16 AM Agree with imon and OneEye. Looks more like an alphabet designed by some conlang enthusiast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
