Sitovo inscription

The Sitovo inscription is an inscription that has yet to be satisfactorily translated. It was discovered in 1928 by an archaeological expedition led by Alexander Peev on the wall of Sitovo Cave, close to Plovdiv, Bulgaria. It was most likely inscribed around 1,200 BC. It was published in 1950 by Z. R. Morfova.

Characteristics

The inscription is in two lines which are 3.40 metres (11.2 ft) long. The written signs are 40 centimetres (16 in) tall.

Possible translations

Various attempts by both amateurs and professionals to translate it have been made. It has been variously identified as local ancient language, Celtic, Slavic, and Phrygian.[1]
