This thread has already been done... Except for the part about the greek writting.
The earliest stages of the prehistory of Greek, from the conventional date of reconstructed Proto-Indo-European, roughly 4500 BC, to the first attestation in the Mycenaean period, c.1400 BC, are somewhat obscure. Still, it is generally agreed that Proto-Greek speakers first entered Southeastern Europe, and the Balkans in particular, sometime between 2200 BC and 1600 BC, most likely coming in several different migratory waves. The earliest of these migrations may well have been speakers of what in the first millennium BC became Arcado-Cypriot, and in the second millennium BC is represented by Mycenaean Greek (note the affinities referred to above between Mycenaean and Arcado-Cypriot), settling in the southern part of the Greek mainland and in the Peloponnesos. A later wave brought Ionic speakers into Attica as well as other parts of central Greece and the Peloponnesos. At this point, still in the second millennium BC, West Greek speakers are believed to have been grouped in the northwestern part of the southern Balkan peninsula.

Curious... Where did the "exact" glyphs come from? A picture of the original material, someone's memory, or something way after the fact?
Just curious as to how much credence to give to the evidence.

I'm not entirly sure but I think with a language this old it would be pretty difficult to identify the first instance of the written forms. I'll keep looking and get back to you on it.
I sure wish Gazrok would give us his point of view - he's 'The' Roswell omniscient soul around here!
Allright: am I therefore correct in summing up that the Greek-resembling glyphs are fake, and according to Dr. J. Marcel Jr's memory whatever they were resemble anything but Greek?
Thanks for clearing this up - I took the original website as a fairly serious one (my mistake). Said that, are Dr. J. Marcel's drawings all that can be found (by us mere mortals) regarding the glyphs?
Still, the chrononaut theory still stands in my thoughts. Let's see if any more input will expand it
My apologies - I 'searched', but nothing quite identical came up. I may have not used the search-tool precisely, though. Can you indicate where the thread you mention can be found?
