Ogam, ogam, everywhere

[jeff of pa]

Ogam is a curious sort of writing characterized by a long reference line decorated with shorter perpendicular or slanted lines. The lengths and arrangements of the shorter lines and their crossings and non-crossings of the reference line constitute alphabetical symbols. The ancient Irish are credited with inventing Ogam; and Ogam inscriptions are common in that part of the world.

During the last two decades, B. Fell and members of the Epigraphic Society have discovered many possible Ogam inscriptions in the continental United States.

Very interesting Jeff,
Thanks, I'll have to look at what they say about it and where they are referring to in the US.
Thanks for the link.
