Paleoanthropologist and rock art researcher Genevieve von Petzinger has found 32 symbols in ancient caves all over Europe used by Homo sapience and probably in my opinion by Neanderthals. And I made a sci-fi attempt to construct the Neanderthal language and writing. It's just my imagination and fantasy.
I speak three languages and I am interested in a plenty of languages and in the coparative linguistics. I have a mathematical and artistic education and began a new art project connected with the rock art. So I am trying to construct a synthetical fantastic quasi-culture (subculture) of the ancient peoples for my project. I am attempting to use the cultures and languages with a long history in my project, for instance the languages of Subartu, Sumer, Urartu, Georgia, Chechnya, etc.
An attempt to reconstruct (construct) the Neanderthal language and writing: meat - mes, water - wet (wed), food - es (et), sun - sem, honey - met, I - en, man - lut, mother - ma, fish - moh, house - hush, spit - upunti, pleasure robs - illoo loott, yes - e... I have used the symbols from Neanderthal petroglyphs (referring to Genevieve von Petzinger) and etymology of very old words. Picture: above - the Neanderthal numbers, lower - the words and below - the alphabet.
I am trying to reconstruct the Neanderthal culture and its hybrid with Cro-Magnon culture. As a starting point (the initial conditions for the search of "optimum" with my iterative SOSSS-algorythm) I use these 32 symbols (Genevieve von Petzinger 2016), arranging them as English alphabet and non-negative integers. It is a blind starting point, initial condition, while we know very little about the Neanderthal language. But slowly, step by step I'll try to solve this riddle. With the help of my sci-fi system for decrypting Neanderthal writing, I am trying read the so-called La Pasiega Inscription in Cantabria (Spain): a Neanderthal or hybrid 54 years old named E. 30,000 years ago wrote on the wall the current date of 11.8.1811 according to the ancient calendar, as well as his age and the first letter of his name. It is also possible that this is a burial inscription above the grave of this Neanderthal. The dating of the La Pasiega Inscription ranges between 30,000 and 16,000 BCE, but this petroglyph seems to be at least 2 times older. The approximation of this inscription will be specified as I advance in the study of the Stone Age cultures.
I have an alternative attitude to reconstruction of Neanderthal language. I have these real 32 symbols (Genevieve von Petzinger 2016), which are approximately 50% Neanderthal or hybrid. I have one real inscription, probably Neanderthal or hybrid. I have some very anscient languages and words, and some of them contain traces of Neanderthals. Now with all this I make the very first and the very fantastic approximation as a starting point. If I'll find something new, then I'll make the next step to the next point. It is my search quasi-numerical method to seek the point of optimum. As a mathematician I know very good what to do to move from bad approximation point to better one. In this respect for me is very interesting the Southwest Paleohispanic Script, also known as Tartessian or South Lusitanian Script (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest_Paleohispanic_script), which uses 13 of those 32 Ice Age symbols. Southwest inscriptions have been found mainly in the southwestern quadrant of the Iberian Peninsula, mostly in the south of Portugal (Algarve and southern Alentejo), but also in Spain (in southern Extremadura and western Andalucia), where the very last Neanderthals lived, existing until around 24,000 years ago (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neanderthals_in_Gibraltar).
The study of the Proto-Indo-European, Proto-Uralic and Pre-Indo-European languages, which absorbed the half-forgotten traces of the Neanderthal language, made it possible to offer the third version of the translation of the notorious 30,000 years old "La Pasiega Inscription": "_118 18↑↑ 5 4 E" or "illoo loott 5 4 E". The attempt to translate the inscription yielded an unexpected result: it turned out to be the oldest Neanderthal saying, which age is estimated at 200,000 years. This proverb is a warning sent by the previous civilization through many generations of Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons, and it literally and figuratively sounds like this: "Pleasure robs. 5 4. Amen". The sequence of numbers 5 4 means rob, ruin (the Neanderthals showed an open palm and then bent their thumb). The saying can be interpreted as "the unused must regress" or "the idle must degrade", "idleness steals our mind", "an idle mind is the devil's workshop". This means, that technical progress (technology) replaces the individual mind (intelligence, consciousness) with a collective one and reduces the average IQ, leading to the reduction of some significant brain regions. The modern humanity is increasingly lazy to strain its brains to solve some problems, and it with great pleasure delegates these functions to the technology, robbing itself, sacrificing his gray matter in return for the pleasure of the process of "wherever to work, just not to work" (the words of Mr Bubentsov from the movie "Spring" (1947)). The brain degrades as just a quite unnecessary thing, and that leads to the savagery of man and the death of civilization (the Fermi Paradox). This was a tragedy of the Neanderthals, and they warned us about it in their La Pasiega Inscription or in a later Cro-Magnon copy of it. ILLOO LOOTT 5 4 E!
All these recent discoveries show that Neanderthals were very similar to us, and we must avoid their mistakes in order not to disappear and not to prove the Fermi Paradox postulates with our own future.
