http://www.greek-thesaurus.gr/images/pub/china-script-1.jpg 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.
