The Skipley Archive Treasure

The archive of the Skipley Library contains a modern (that is seventeenth century) translation of the  myth of Dnankremis of Orkav, This has significance in relation to the Reed Scroll which was amongst those rescued from the Middle Caves following an earthquake in the Uymattidic region. The researchers working on the text believe it is an early version of the Dnankremis myth.

Content interpretation or the asemic alternative?

Apart from the Velusian document that was recently re-interpreted by Eliacan et al (2017), a collection of lesser known scrolls was rescued from the Middle Caves following the recent seismic activity along the Uymattidan fault line. An initial project by the Department of Pre-llambryc Palaeography has focused on a set of three scrolls that share an unusual alphabet. Work on basic decyphering has reached an advanced stage and initial fragments have been submitted to the interpretation team. There remains however considerable doubt amongst a minority of researchers who posit the Asemic Hypothesis (Carcasonne and Djankuye, 2017). This will be explored in the next blog posting.
