The Newton Stone is a pillar stone, found in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.[1] It is a stone that has an ancient inscription in Ogham and also in an unknown language that has not been officially read or translated.[2] Many archaeologists have tried to read this text,[3] but there is no definitive translation. This ancient inscription is located in the Aberdeenshire region.[4]
Translation attempts
According to some people, this text is actually written in Brahmi script and some of its letters are very similar to Armenian.[5]
Laurence Waddell claimed to have translated the inscription in his book "Phoenician Origin of Britons, Scots, and Anglo-Saxons", as follows:
"This Sun-Cross (Swastika) was raised to Bil (or Bel, the God of Sun Fire) by the Kassi (or Cassi-bel[an]) of Kast of the Siluyr (sub clan) of the 'Khilani' (or Hittit-palace dwellers), the Phoenician (named) Ikar of Cilicia, the Prwt (or Prat, that is ' 'Barat' or 'Brihat' or 'Brit-on')"[1]
Celtic scholar Frances Carney Diack transliterated the symbols as "ETTE EVAGAINNIAS CIGONOVOCANI URAELISI MAQQI NOVIOGRUTA".[6][7]
Other attempts have been published by Lord Southesk (1882-5), Sir W. Ramsay 1892, Whitley Stokes 1892, Sir John Rhys 1892 and Dr. Bannerman in 1907.[8]
