Aramaic Script
a writing system which describes only consonant sounds. Aramaic script, which is based on Phoenician script, arose at the beginning of the first millennium B.C. among Semitic tribes in the northwest, known as Aramaeans. Its oldest literary remains date from the ninth and eighth centuries B.C. Aramaic script was one of the two writing systems (with Persian cuneiform) used in Achaemenian Iran. Aramaic script can be traced back to Syriac Square Hebrew, Arabic, Pahlavi, Ugaritic, Mongolian, and other scripts. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | The 10-line Aramaic script, which is clear but cryptic, is being deciphered by a team of epigraphic experts in an effort to determine the meaning of the text, according to Professor Shimon Gibson, of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, who is co-directing the excavation. The first must see is Madain Saleh north of Madinah; it is home to 131 tombs, 45 of which carry inscriptions in late Aramaic scripts. According to Cameron, names in the ancient Aramaic script on some of the caskets translate as "Jesus son of Joseph", "Maria", "Joseph", "Mariamne" - thought to be Mary Magdalene's real name - and "Judah, son of Jesus". |
