The Ancient Alphabet (I got it!)

" Waw ! This is cool ! " (Maj. J. Sheppard)

I have said exactly the same thing when I discovered this Topic, and those fonts, and those translations ... WOW ! Pretty impressive ! Nice work !

So, do you think now we could be able to translate what's written on the P4X-639 Time Loop Device
(4.06 Window of Opportunity) ???

Those characters look different then the ones found in Atlantis... it is probably an older dialect.

Or upper case Seriously, do D and d don't like very alike...

And those letters look like gibberish to me, I don't know any words with n, l, b, v and w together like that

[Selmak]

My point wasn't that it meant something... I was trying to point out the new characters I found.

Good answer!

Had to create my own little signature using this awsome font, to the creator of the font, YOU RAWK!

[Selmak]

To my knowledge there are no spaces in ancient... I think I'm getting good at reading ancient... I read your signature without any reference... ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US

[dannyh]

so i should remove the spaces.. hows this? lol

Anyways.. its really cool how u guys translated it, im looking forward to future episodes w/ more text =)

[Selmak]

Me too!!

[Selmak]

But it still bothers me that we are missing 4 letters (J,Q,X,Z)... I found 4 unknown letters (check above posts) we just need to match them.

[sgeureka]

A friend was so kind to get "Rising" for me, and besides the Ancient letter "J", I got very much of the last steps.

Ancient J = upside down Ancient R (I fixed the letter chart in my first post accordingly)

01 WE HOLD THESE AS THE TRUTH

11 FROM TYRANNY MAY SEEK SHELTER UNDER OUR ROOF AND (KNATOU...) WILL LAY
12 DOWN THEIR LIVES TO PROTECT THE WEAK AND THE JUST LET THIS BE (O...) TO THOSE
13 COME IN PEACE AS WE GO IN PEACE AND YOU WILL BE WELCOME ON OUR (E...) EVERMORE

[Selmak]

Wow... thanks... great work... Now we're only missing Q,X,Z

[Selmak]

Here is a pic of the stairs from Hide and Seek... I noticed some unknown letters:

Good pic, although a little blurred

[sgeureka]

I just noticed another thing. As I've said before, there doesn't seem to be a connection between the single steps. But there may be if you alter the order of the steps. I am getting rid of the all-in-uppercase and tried to include punctuation for an easier read, but since you probably know English better than me, I may be way wrong here with the order (and I am not even pretending that I think my order is right, because obviously, it isn't). We may have to wait until steps 11-13 are complete, but anyway: Happy juggling!

01 We hold these as the truth:
02 A hearty welcome to those of other worlds.
06 As we leave for distant worlds, we pledge to respect the lands of
08 our neighbours and to act with integrity as ambassadors in peace time
05 to those returning. You Y have been gone too long and your
03 visiting our home for the first time. (W)elcome again
07 whole again that you are among us, and we celebrate you being here again.
04 Absence has weighed heavily on our souls. We are
10 inhabitants of this world, and all we may ever know, we always strive to
09 Of our people. Travellers with open hearts will always be welcome. Refugees
11 from tyranny may seek shelter under our roof and (knatou...) will lay
12 down their lives to protect the weak and the just. Let this be (o...) to those
13 come in peace as we go in peace and you will be welcome on our (e...) evermore.
