Oldest Writing in the Western Hemisphere Discovered
Posted By Ardellis on September 16, 2006
My husband and I heard about this on the radio on Friday morning, from Isaac-Davy Aronson, who was guest-hosting for Rachel Maddow on her show’s last morning-timeslot broadcast (she’s moving to evenings starting Monday). And, quite frankly, I think Aronson was decidedly condescending to those of us who find such things exciting. But despite the messenger’s annoying attitute, I found myself thrilled by the news. It’s not often a previously unknown writing system is discovered, after all.
