Archeology: Archeologists uncover 4,000-year-old Macedonian writing
- 2 Comment
Archaeologists in Macedonia have uncovered 4,000-year-old writing, which is the first
trace of the old Macedonian language in the country.
According to a report by MINA (Montenegrin News Agency), the 4,000-year-old signs, written on the lid of the clay artifact, are considered as a monumental discovery, first of its kind
and very important for the paleolinguistics.
“Uncovered are the first traces of the old Macedonian language in the country,” said Dr. Dushko Aleksovski, paleolinguistics professor and honorary president of the World Rock Art
Academy.
“This is a very rare artifact, the name of the Goddess Vesta is written on it. However, the first written name is Bsefa, which later became Vesta. This is the oldest artifact written in the old Macedonian language discovered on our territory,” he added.
The discovery was made in central Macedonia, the precise location is being kept secret by the Government so the area doesn’t get over run by archeological poachers looking for treasures and artifacts. (ANI)

This find is not authentic.
It has been proven wrong by all the scientific world.
Well, to be more precise, of all the linguists who are not from FYROM.
MINA is known to be a very propagandistic news agency, so I wouldn’t take its articles very seriously.January 6th, 2009 at 6:29 am -

Say what?Boris, you are one of the stupedest individual on this earth.The only ones that are doctoring the findings are the Greeks.The Virgina discovery has been doctored into Greek from ancient Macedonian.Furtheremore,the Greeks are showing the writtings in the present day lettering,do you get it? Why the curator of the Athens museum was discharged? He refused to hide the Macedonian artifacts,they were not written in Greek,kapish? So stop your stupid analogy,and first check your facts before you write something stupid! Macedonia will uncover lot more artifacts,we just started.Greece has been stealing the Macedonian artifacts,but will come a day that they will have to come clean.
