TARTARIA SQUARED TABLET (with hole) SUMERIAN APPROACH


Careful/ Attention !                                                                                                                                          This post is not a decipherment or reading of any actual written content of Tartaria tablets. Given that the signs do not belong to a single writing system but to several, the page has a purely didactic character. It has the role of trying and testing different writings, in the idea that the tablets would have used one of them. The signs on the tablets belong to several writing systems over a long period of time and which have been used in different geographical areas. In none of the trials did the signs fall into a single type of writing, there always remained signs that came from other writings (or as coming from the unknown). Most of the signs come from the Sumerian proto-cuneiform -shaped ones. The signs in the upper half of the round tablet seem to come from archaic Greek writing. This “collection” of signs seems to be the fruit of one’s rich imagination. As A. Falkenstein and A. A. Vaiman found, (this is also my firm opinion) the author was not a scribe, he had only vague notions about writing in general, and it is not known what he intended  or he was after. There are many elements of inconsistency as well as others that take the tablets out of the usual patterns and norms of honest logic, writing and intentions.                            =====

Othervise 30 was related to sumerian time keeping (with the base 60), and reprezent a month (30 days in a month), but yhe sign month was an U(day) sign with  three DDD inside.
Sumerian used an specific sign for month, an sign wich couples the sign U (day) with the number 30. It is not this sign here.

In sumerian proto-cuneiform writing, there is only one instance in wich I found the sign D .Only in proto-cuneiform sign list (Falkenstein ATU 527).   Also as the very precursor of the signs, sumerian tokens (Denisse Schmand Besserat). Nobody knows or even not hypotethised what significance had that sign for by sumerians ! In the Denise Schmand Besserat paper the sign is in the cask/vessel/recipients column.

See that both red-encircled signs.Every of them was ment to be read as such, isolates.   So coresponding to a separate single meaning for every sign.Not to form words by combining the signs.
This interpretation is the direct result of the fact that the signs are phisically isolated in kind of houses/boxes.

From A New Edition of the Proto-Elamite
Text MDP 17, 112 https://cdli.ucla.edu/pubs/cdlj/2015/cdlj2015_001.html

        §4.1.2. The precise meaning and function of N2 in proto-cuneiform is not known. It has been suggested that N2 in proto-cuneiform is the precursor to the sign BAD, with the later readings uš2/ug7 attested in the Ur III and Old Akkadian periods (Damerow and Englund forthcoming), including at Ebla (Butz 1981: 338), and in these later texts it is clear that it bears the meaning “sacrificed,” or in the case of humans, simply “dead.”

Figure 3: The Early Convergence of N2 and BAD.
SIGN > convergence>BAD,TIL,US,UG

Even if N2 is used to denote dead or sacrificed animals in the Uruk corpora, the evidence for this is weak and the texts themselves are inconclusive. It is more likely that N2 in proto-cuneiform denotes the entities it counts as “other” or “special.” The meaning “dead” may then have been later attributed to it due to the confluence of the N2/“TIL” and “BAD” signs.   ………………… I suggest that proto-Elamite N2 was an independent development derived from proto-Elamite N1 (which, along with the other basic numerical signs, was a direct borrowing from proto-cuneiform). Regardless of whether or not it was an independent development in proto-cuneiform and proto-Elamite, it is clear that N2 was used to designate whatever it was used to count as “other,” or distinct from the usual or majority object being counted. In the case of proto-Elamite this could possibly indicate a difference in gender, in worker status, or in type or amount of rations to be received. In proto-cuneiform, perhaps N2 indicated that a different type of grain was used to make the beer

The folowing sign (N0.4),Fig 3 is much close to sumerian proto-cuneiform: AB .                                      Anyway, M.Merlini choose to have an absolute separate opinion to others (A.A.Vaiman,R.Kolev&al, included mine), and choose for :                                                         “a cup for collecting sacred liquid: !?   

From enenuru.net    Sign “UNU”                                                                                            This stands for – divine name + the sign UNU – . What is interesting to note is that these geographical names, for example UD+UNU (Larsa), or SHESH+UNU (Ur), seem to be direct adaptions of the Early protoliterate City Seals. This becomes clearer still when we note the cuneiform sign UNU, a part of the geographical names, (when flipped vertical) appears to be a direct adaption from the ‘base’ or ‘stand’ in the seals. It symbolises the abode of the deity, so UD+UNU, is the home of the Sun god, and the UNU is a part of his temple or ziggurat. And here we see the ePSD entry for unu as dwelling:                          “unu [DWELLING] (1511x: Lagash II, Ur III, Old Babylonian) wr. unu6; unu2; unu “banquet; dining hall; the most sacred part of a temple; seat, throne; dwelling, domicile, abode; temple”                                                                                                                           From  https://cdli.ucla.edu/tools/SignLists/protocuneiform/archsigns.html

by Iurii Mosenkis https://www.academia.edu/10909671/Dravidian_tokens_Ubaid_and_its_traces_in_Balkans

“The first tokens (related to the Sumerian or pre-Sumerian hieroglyphs) which use began about 9,000–8,000 BCE in PPNA Mureybet in Syria and Ganj Dareh in Iranian Zagros. E. g., the token sign for ‘sheep’ (about 7,000 BCE) depicted as the cross might reflect the homonymy between the names of the Sun and sheep in Sumerian and Dravidian (Sum. uz, ud, ut ‘she-goat’, udu ‘sheep’ : Proto-Dravidian *jōḍ- ‘goat’ > Proto-Gondi-Kui *jōḍ- > *ōḍ-ā; Tamil, Malayalam utal. ‘ram, he-goat;’ Sum. utu ‘the Sun,’

3. na-anNan(NISH2ni8-ishi)-ĝa = Nanga = Peleg. The unusual spelling of the name may be taken to indicate that the name read originally Nishiga (or Nishima) was pronounced later Nanga. (For nigin = nishima see ePSD s. nigin5, Lexical.) Heb. peleg = region and/or watercourse, Sumerian nanga, nigin or nishiga (or, nishima), Akkadian nagu, nangu = region, or more specifically an irrigation region. (The peculiar way the name is written, viz. with the signs na.an.gish[or:nish2].ni8[or:li].ish[i]-ma[or:ĝa], has led to the idea that the name is “Na-an-gish li-ish-ma” [“May he listen (lishma) joyfully (nangish)”], as nish2 is more commonly read gish, and ni8, more commonly read li.) The word nigin (otherwise nanga or nishiga etc.) is also written with the sign BULUG (in which case it means a boundary of a region or a boundary marker), Akkadian puluggu or pulukku, which is the same as the Heb. peleg. According to Genesis 10. 25, it was in the days of this patriarch that the “earth was divided,” which implies the creation of geographical (“earth”) regions, as well as the dispersion of tribes. The Hebrew root p-l-g means not only “divide (regionally)” but also “divide (linguistically).” Peleg means “(man of) different regions” and “(man of) different languages.” The historical context is the dispersion of nations and consequent confusion of language at the Shinar Tower.

OOOPS!…………….I have also NIGIN on the round tablet!

But if want my opinion,the sign is not a complex,ligaturred,composed-one because I am expecting that the writing pertain to pre-cuneiform fase in wich were used simple signs,So sufficient the sketch of the bull(head)

The sign above No.7 Merlini:”the cup for worship that collects the sacred liquid”………..even much sorry….Mister Merlini is an outstanding story maker.

The same sign AB for “house,temple”

If Professor Waddell is right in identifying the “Sumerian Father-god” Zagg with the Cretan god Zeus (**2) he, too, offers a link between the Babylonian and Cretan religions. We have already seen that Sargon was perhaps sometimes called Zaggisi, (**3) so probably both Zagg and Zeus were mythological representatives of

mpressions of two cylinder seals (Sumer) and glyph of ‘ingot’. The person at the feet of the eagle-winged person carries a (metal) dagger on his left-hand, clearly demonstrating the link with this metalware catalog.
Note the one-horned bull below the person who has his foot on mountain-summit.
Sumerian sign for the term ZAG ‘purified precious’. The ingot had a hole running through its length Perhaps a carrying rod was inserted through this hole.

Bouth signs:

Down-> “House

http://enenuru.proboards.com/thread/329/nergal

I am convinced that Nergal is the netherworld aspect of the sun-god, on the basis of late mystical texts which I had looked at in the Erra thread.
There appears to be a connection between Nergal and Shamash. It has indeed been argued that the Mesopotamians saw them as alter-egos (Porada 1948, 47; von Weiher 1971, 26, 31), Nergal governing the underworld and Shamash the sky
Dalley mentions in Myths from Mesopotamia p. 283 that Nergal/Erra was the “patron of copper smelting”

This is the first time I have heard of this important point, as it would accord with the idea that Nergal is a god of fire…………. Nergal and his connection to mining

B E S I D E

Despite the fact that I found the sign AMAR:”CALF” in the before section,when encountered that last horned-like sign, my mind was toward goat and some-how attached to GOAT (despite the fact that could be the head of a bull.Did not realised or thought)

Possible the tablet was ment and used in an fertility ritual.
The were giving grain offering and addressed to the Gods ? An (Sky-God) and Nergal (pair of Sun-God or underworld deity) ?

Even remain other second close-by possible interpretation of BAD sign with an reading :”drive/go away” or read as til: “to be ripe, complete; to pluck; to put an end to, finish; to cease, perish” ,”distress/death” reading in the situation there was encountered draught and famine folowed by people death.

Ooops!…apropos of double-axe and Nergal:
https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sumer_anunnaki/reptiles/serpent_tribe/serpent_tribe15.htm
THE AXE, IN SUMERIAN USAGES
“The God of Jupiter is the Lord of Magicians, MARDUK KURIOS of the Double-headed Axe.” – Necronomicon, p. 30 (AVON Edition).
Laurence Austine Waddell, in The Makers of Civilization in Race and History, (1929), sheds some light on the significance of the axe:
“The Double-Axe sign for the God Zeus in Crete also occurs as a sign for the god ZAG [1] in Sumerian. It is found in the inscription of Manis-Tusu’s grandfather; and it is obviously a fuller form of the diagrammatic axe-sign in Sumerian, which has the phonetic value of ZAG or SAG, and is defined as ‘axe, sceptre, two-edged sword.’ And significantly this axe-sign is a title in Sumerian of ‘The GREAT LORD’ (NAR-GAL) [Ner-Gal from his fatal smiting still later became the God of the Underworld.], a martial reflex of the Father-God ZAGG, SAKH, or SAX [2], i.e., Zeus, who became latterly the ‘God of War’ in Babylonia; and Manis’ father SARGON worshipped the weapon of the God ZAGG as we have seen.”

The both signs: that one above No.7 is for Bull and No.7 is for “temple,abode”

The TEMPLE,ABODE of the Sun-Bull, the house of Sun-Bull/Nergal,(Sun’s pair)

Note
Do not consider this work as an ultimate finding and interpretation.
When begun some years before my proposed goal was only : to proove and show that Tartaria Round tablet is containing proto?writing?.
Now the same goal with both tablets.I am not pretending at all an accurate reading. Schollars (sumerologists) could take and analyse the tablets and afteward give and show their opinion.

  1. Geovasile Says:

    The roots of Sumerian hieroglyphic writing come from Vinca-Turdas writing. The Sumerian hieroglyphs look very close to those of Tartaria, but, do they have the same phonetic value? Do they have the same meaning? Nobody knows. The Sumerian language is NOT the language of Tartaria tablets. This is the opinion of most of the specialists. Trying to decrypt Tartaria tablets using the Sumerian key is a loss of time. Try to understand the papers sustaining the Indo-European language (Vedic Sanskrit) as Tartaria’s language.

    Nobody showed with hard evidence that – Tartaria tablets are older than proto-sumerian writing
    – Tartaria tablets or single Vinca artefact carry writing
    – Vinca culture get to proto-writing phase.
    Note
    Tartaria tablets carry proto-writing.Hieroglips are not used as nowdays letter, and cannot !
    Proto-writing is using proto-cuneiform signs.As pictograms an ideograms/logograms.Scientist say tha from the begining ideograms had attached some phonetics.But that’s all.Proto writing is not using a language as writing.Proto-witings are interpreted not read.Out of proto-writing one could extract only an general idea or meaning .

    Vechimea tăblițelor este necunoscută. Metoda indirectă nu este de încredere și datarea nu este recunoscută de reprezentanții mediului academic, care susțin că tăblțele au fost aduse din Sumer de niște negustori în urmă cu 5000 de ani. Ca cercetător amator, eu trebuie să merg pe mâna academicienilor. Primul val de migratori indo-europeni din Kurgan a intrat în peninsula Balcanică după anul 4400 î.Hr. și era purtător al culturii indo-europene (limbă, religie, mitologie, astronomie astrologie). Aceeași cultură a fost impusă în India de către arienii vedici, un alt popor indo-european, care a păstrat cel mai bine cultura originală indo-europeană. Ca exemplu, lingviștii au declarat că sanskrita vedică este foarte asemănătoare cu limba indo-europeană și este chiar identică. Este un subiect în dezbatere în rîndul oamenilor de știință. Prin urmare, primii migratori indo-europeni in peninsula balcanică vorbeau acceași limbă cu cea indo-europenilor din Kuran, păstrată de arienii vedici. Dacă vechimea tăblițelor este de 5000 de ani, limba textelor trebuie să fie limba indo-europeană. Specialiștii au declarat că limba indo-europeană a fost vorbită de către toate triburile indo-europene, până în anul circa 3500 î.Hr., indiferent unde au migrat. Acesta este raționamentul meu. Migratorii din Kurgan au desființat culturile Cucuteni-Trypolie și Vinca-Turdaș, dar au preluat elemente de la aceste culturi agricole, printre care și scrierea. Cred că toate inscripțiile Vinca-Turdaș anterioare anului 4400 î.Hr. au folosit limba locală (vinciană), iar cele apărute după acest an folosesc limba indo-europeană.

    Nimeni nu a demostrat că tăblițele Tărtăria sunt mai vechi decât proto-scrierea sumeriană (3300 î.Hr.), CORECT, dar nimeni nu a reușit să ofere o soluție de descifrare CORECTĂ a tăblițelor prin folosirea elementelor culturii sumeriene. Prin descifrare înțeleg o TRADUCERE exactă, grafemă cu grafemă, așa cum s-a procedat în cazul scrierii hieroglifice hitite. În opinia mea, tăblițele folosesc scriere hieroglifică și scriere pictografică. Pictogramele sunt cele trei din tăblița pictografică fără perforație, grafema nr. 6 de mai sus și capul de cerb din căsuța nr. 7 de mai sus. Celelalte sunt hieroglife (grafemă = hieroglifă sau pictogramă). Fiecare grafemă poate fi tradusă printr-un cuvânt. S-a afirmat că “tăblițele Tărtăria conțin o formă de proto-scriere”. Pentru că textele n-au fost descifrate s-a presupus că fac parte din această categorie – “proto-scriere”. Eu le-am descifrat printr-o metodă științifică. În opinia mea, la Tărtăria avem o scriere. Marco Merlini și Harald Haarmann au greșt în ceea ce privește vechimea tăblițelor, dar susțin ideea că aceste tăblițe conțin o scriere.
    De ce scrierea Vinca-Turdaș (Tărtăria) este asemănătoare scrierii sumeriene? A fost adusă scrierea sumeriană în Balcani și Carpați, sau scrierea Vinca-Turdaș a fost exportată în Orientul Apropiat? Cred că cea de a doua exprimare este cea corectă. Vincianii s-au retras din calea barbarilor indo-europeni după anul 4400 î.Hr. și au migrat spre sud in spațiul egeean și mesopotamian, unde au dus cu ei scrierea. Sumerienii s-au stabilit în sudul Mesopotamiei imediat după anul 4000 î.Hr., unde au găsit scrierea Vinca-Turdaș. Au preluat ideea de scriere și o parte dintre grafeme, dar le-au atribuit semnificații diferite, după religia și limba lor.
    Există autori care susțin că grafemele Tărtăria sunt simboluri, care pot fi interpretate, dar nu reprezintă o scriere. Prin urmare, dilema “a fi sau a nu fi o scriere la Tărtăria” este în dispută în rândul oamenilor de știință. Depinde de noi “biciclistii” (amatorii) cu cine “votam”, după propriile noastre informații și opinii.
    Studiul de mai sus este interesant și bine documentat. Schimbul de opinii pe care l-am început îmi este util pentru lamurirea unor întrebări. Unde pot găsi pe Net detalii despre scrierea sumeriană proto-cuneiformă?

    Au reusit mai multi cercetatori de top ai scrierii sumeriene in general si ai scrierii proto cuneiforme in special, sa ofere o solutie de descifrare.Este vorba de exemplu de A.Falkenstein, A.A.Vaiman si Rumen Kolev. Retineti ca nu putem vorbi de traducere si citire decat in cazul scrierii propriu-zise (caz in care este utilizata o limba).In cazul proto-scrierii putem vorbi numai de o interpretare. Interpretarea extrage un inteles mai general si inexact decat citirea. Culmea e ca interpretarile acestor cercetatori se suprapun in cea mai mare masura (itre ele dar si cu a mea). Nu se poate vorbi de o scriere Vinca-Turdas ci numai de scriptul/scriptura Vinca Turdas, care este de fapt numai o colectie de semne. Tablitele de la Tartaria nu fac parte din scriptul Vinca-Turdas. Semnele de pe tablite sant sau mai bine zis reflecta in cea mai mare masura semnele sumeriene proto cuneiforme. In spatiul sumerian in principal sau gasit mii de tablite cu proto-scriere (semne proto cuneiforme) , iar in spatiul Egeean si Danubian niciuna (tablitele de la Tartaria fiind o exceptie, un gen de unicat)
