These inscriptions are from China - western Zhou dynasty and are dated from 1028 to 771 BC.
As a Greek i can recognize almost all the greek alphabet there.
This is very strange because these symbols appear in the greek region at about 800 BC. with the disputed
argument - in my opinion - of the phoenician origin of the greek alphabet.
Something does not going well with the ancient scripts considering too many mistakes by archaeologists in translating the linear B script till 1950.
I think we miss something here. I have the suspicion that there is a greek influence here but there are not enough evidences about that.
I want your opinion.
