(March 4, 2024) The letter style of this text is Etruscan Hellenistic which derives from the Etruscan tradition. Yet this letter style retains some Aegean Island elements making it slightly older than what appears of the Rosetta Stone which is dated to 200 BCE.
This text is promoting ritual activity to energize the astrological powers to move the fertility fluids of the life network so they can trigger rain and life forms.
