If you are attentive to others like you are to me (I refer to my eyes's
problems I've talked of in more than an occasion) I'd have to call you
insensitive. So stop offering me this book. And even if I were
eagle-eyed, I wouldn't read it, cause, as others
observed in this thread, the nature of signs has to be established by a
linguist, not by an archeologist.

I read your replies to me, but don't have the time
to read all you write in other threads, so I missed
your eye problem. I said sorry before. As for the
book: I don't ask you to read it but to look at the
more than hundred photographs. You can't say
anything about Göbekli Tepe as long as you haven't
seen them. Talking about the Jupiter moons was futile
as long as people avoided gazing through Galilei's
telescope. Talking about microbes was hopeless as
long as people avoided looking through Leeuwenhoek's
microscope. Talking about Göbekli Tepe is senseless
as long as you avoid looking at photographs of the
pillars with their phantastic reliefs and sculptures
(yes, sculptures on the side of several pillars,
carved from the same stone, en block).

Never mind, I'm fully satisfied with the answer of the archeologist I
cited.

The quote you cited made me think of envy. A big
issue in archaeology. Only very few archaeologists
make a discovery in the order of Göbekli Tepe.

You never said this before. You dissertated about "an abstract sign, the
lying
H, whose horizontal bars represent the earth AC and the sky CA".
CA and AC, in your Magdalenian theory, are words of a primitive
language, so I infer that in your mind the lying H is a written sign
of these words.

Klaus Schmidt says: the reliefs on the pillars keep
durable messages from people to people, they are
no writing, but thirteen small pictograms are Neolithic
hieroglyphs, literally sacred signs. I go further by
ascribing a phonetic value to at least one of them.

i can't. As I said you in many occasions, to understand the phylogenetic
birth of the language you have to observe the ontogenetic development of
it in a child, wich procedes from images to more abstract symbols.

Ontogenesis as recapitulation of phylogenesis - this
well known formula by Haeckel has been proved wrong
and is no longer used. Besides, I am considering child
language, their joy in turning around words; furthermore
I mention pictures as origin of writing, as explained before.

I think we better end this thread here. I shall give my
interpretation of pillar 43, discovered in the autumn
campaign of 2006, only half a year ago, in my thread
"what is etymology? (biology and language)" next week.
