TRACING THE SCRIPT AND THE LANGUAGE


OF THE ANCIENT MACEDONIANS
Tome Bo{evski, Aristotel Tentov
A b s t r a c t: This study presents the results of research realized
within the project Deciphering the Middle Text of the Rosetta
Stone.
It is concluded that a syllabic script of the type consonantvowel was used for the middle text of the Rosetta Stone. Symbols
for 25 consonants were identified. By using the procedure of mirroring and rotation in the writing surface (plain), a monosemic
(unambiguous) way was determined for connecting the symbol of
consonant with 4 or 8 vowels. Although rarely used, the symbols
for writing isolated vowels and some consonants were identified.
In the analyzed text, the syllabic signs were not only written next
to each other, but also they were often written one above the other
in the form of what are known as ligatures. A small number of
pictographic symbols were also identified.
The wiring for sound of the identified syllable signs,
isolated consonants or vowels and ligatures is was achieved by
using archaisms from the dialects of the contemporary Macedonian language. In the text, which was written from right to left,
without space between the words and without separation of sentences in an infinite series, more than 160 words were identified
which have kept their meaning in some dialects of the contemporary Macedonian language. A certain number of grammatical rules
were also identified which are discerned in the contemporary
Macedonian language, such as the formation of superlative of the
adjectives with the prefix naj_ [nai] (equivalent to the English
the _est/ the most ); the plural of nouns by adding i
[i] (equivalent to the English _s); the occurrence of definite and
indefinite form of nouns, as well as the frequent use of the preposition na [na] (equivalent to the English prepositions on, at,).
With these identified syllables and their wiring for sound and the
definite rules for writing, a monosemic (unambiguous) methodology was generated in order to make out certain words and to read
what was written.

The results of deciphering the middle text of the Rosetta


Stone point to the fact that there are many details which cannot be
found in the text written (inscribed) in ancient Greek alphabet.
This conclusion proves the science awareness from the time of
Thomas Young (1822) that the middle text was the original. On
the basis of our research we can make this knowledge more precise with the conclusion that the pharaohs decree from the middle
text of the Rosetta Stone in original is written (inscribed) in the
language of the ancient Macedonians with letters of the alive
(living) masters of that time, i.e. with the official letters and
language of the state that had been ruled by them for more than a
century.
Key words: ancient Macedonians, script, language

INTRODUCTION
The aim of this research was to decipher the middle text of the Rosetta
Stone.
The Rosetta Stone is one of the best known textual artifacts from ancient Egypt and has been the object of a great number of studies and much research in the scholarly world of this field. It has its name because the location
where it was excavated, that is Rosetta, i.e. El-Rashid in Arabic. It was discovered by a French soldier who had been working on excavating fortifications for
the needs of Napoleons army during his campaign in Egypt in the year 1799,
after a short military clash with the English army, when he won the battle, a
peace treaty was signed in Alexandria in 1802. In accordance with the regulations of this peace treaty all the goods and artifacts possessed by the French
army became the property of the British. On the basis of this, the Rosetta Stone
was moved to England where it still is today and is one of the best-known exhibits at the British Museum in London. The Rosetta Stone is a stone of black
granite, shown on Figure 1.
The importance of the Rosetta Stone and the interest it has aroused in
the scientific and scholarly world are based on the fact that special decree had
been inscribed on it, which, according to contemporary scholarship, was issued
by the priests in order to glorify the pharaoh Ptolemy V Epiphany Eucharist one
year after his coronation, more precisely, according to present-day calendar on
27th March 196 B.C. The special interest arises because this decree was written
in three different scripts: in hieroglyphs, in so called demotic script and in the
ancient Greek alphabet. On the basis of the text written in the ancient Greek
alphabet, in 1822 the well-known French scientist Champollion deciphered the
hieroglyphic script using the ancient Egyptian language for wiring for sound.

According to the perceptions of contemporary science, as well as the


text being written in three scripts, two languages had been used: ancient Egyptian, in the text written with hieroglyphs and in the demotic script, and ancient
Greek in the text written in ancient Greek script. The thesis that three scripts
and three languages are used on the Rosetta Stone was widely accepted until
the beginning of the 20th century. Due to the difficulties in determining and deciphering the third language, which was used to write the middle text of the
stone, in the first decade of the 20th century the thesis that three scripts and two
languages were used on the stone began to predominate. Consequently, current
scholarship supports the theory that two scripts: the hieroglyphic and the demotic, were used to inscribe the decree on the Rosetta Stone in ancient Egyptian
language.
A basic assumption of our research is that in writing the text on the
Rosetta Stone three scripts were used, but in three languages: ancient Egyptian, written in the hieroglyphic script, ancient Macedonian, written in the
demotic script, and ancient Greek written in the ancient Greek alphabet. This
assumption is based on the fact that the rulers of Egypt in those times were the
Ptolemaic dynasty, descend from Ptolemy Soter, general of Alexander the
Great, i.e. they were ancient Macedonians. And according to the perceptions
of a part of contemporary scholarship the ancient Macedonians used to speak in
a language different from the ancient Greek, and it is more than obvious that
they had to know how to read and write into their own language. Our assumption is that the script they used was the script used in the middle text of the
Rosetta Stone and which is known today in the scholarly circles under the term
of the demotic script. The assumption becomes true if the demotic script is
taken into consideration either in its universal use on the part of the literate
people of those times, i.e. it was being used in Persia and Egypt for writing state
documents, documents for legal and property issues, scientific texts, poetry and
prose.
The appearance of the middle text of the Rosetta Stone is shown of Figure 2.
It is known that the demotic script is syllabic in character, which means
that each sign represents one syllable of the consonantvowel type. In comparison with a letter script, the syllabic script is much more susceptible to influence
in terms of the language in which it is being used. From this reason, different
variants of the script itself would have to exist depending on the language in
which it was being written. Today, it is in fact so with the Latin alphabet, where
there exist different variants for different languages for which the Latin alphabet
is used.

Fig. 2. The appearance of the middle text of the Rosetta Stone

It must be mentioned that the demotic script has been in the past and is
still today a subject of intensive research. One of the most significant and leading works in the field of study of the demotic script as well as the language, the
new Egyptian language as it is called, is the Dictionary and Grammar of the
Demotic Language, The Oriental Institute, University of Chicago, USA. Although it is clear and generally accepted that a syllabic script is in question, in
this significant publication the authors point out that they are not capable being
read sign by sign (syllable after syllable), but they suggest the text is written
word after word, and at the same time supposing an absolute language identity
in the forming of sentences, phrases and all the names of rulers and gods in the
text in ancient Egyptian with the ancient Greek text.
In the text that follows, the perceptions and results of our research in
analyzing and deciphering the middle text of the Rosetta Stone are presented,
starting from the assumption that the text in the demotic script was written in
the language of the ancient Macedonians, i.e. in the ancient Macedonian
language.
In the first chapter, the basic characteristics of the analyzed script are
given. Unlike the research by the Oriental Institute in Chicago, in our research
of the demotic script we start from the basic fact: that is the syllabic script and
we consider it sign by sign, i.e. syllable by syllable. Several groups of syllabic
signs are defined according to their use in terms of whether a syllable is being
wired for sound, independent consonant or independent vowel. Several signs
are also defined which are most probably the remains of some old pictographic
Prilozi, Odd. mat. teh. nauki, XXVI, 2 (2005), s. 7122

script, and as such they represent a whole notion. The method of writing the socalled ligatures is defined, which according to us is a characteristic of the ancient Macedonian variant of this widely-used script in the given period of the
Mediterranean Asian civilization.
In the second chapter the procedure of wiring for sound the syllabic
signs is presented, the signs for wiring for sound pure consonant, pure vowel
and the way of reading and wiring for sound the pictographic signs and ligatures. We classify the syllabic signs into three classes, as asymmetric, symmetric and inclined signs. The asymmetric signs are characterized by the fact that
they have 8 possible positions on the writing surface (plane), that is why they
were used for writing consonants which could form separate syllables for all
eight vowels, as many as existed in the ancient Macedonian language. The
symmetric and inclined syllabic signs can have only 4 positions in the writing
surface (plane) with which syllables can be written with appropriate consonants
with 4 vowels. However, according to rules, the consonants for which in the
wiring for sound a symmetric or inclined sign is used additionally make a syllable with the vowel [i]. In writing down these kinds of syllables, because it was
not planned to use a syllabic sign, a pure consonant was used and the sign for
the pure vowel [i] was used. The 4 pictographic signs were also used as the
remainder of some older script in the analyzed text. For two of these we managed to define their wiring for sound as well as their meaning, while for the
other two we managed to define their meaning only. The ligatures are a special
form used in writing, where in the place determined for one sign, 2 to 3 signs
are written one over the other and/or one above the other. When reading the
ligatures, simply the meaning of each single sign (in the form of a syllable) is
read, and between them the syllable na [na] is automatically added (equivalent
to the English prepositions on, at), which completely reflects the geometrical
position among the signs. Consequently, our assumption very clearly follows
that the ligatures must be a basic characteristic of the ancient Macedonian variant of this script, taking into consideration the fact that the contemporary Macedonian language is distinguished by the very clear use of the preposition na [na]
(equivalent to English prepositions on, at,).
In the third chapter, applying the rules for wiring for sound presented in
the second chapter, the following things are presented: the formation of the superlative of adjectives, the method of making the plural of nouns and the formations of definite and indefinite forms of nouns.
The fourth chapter is a thorough examination of the most frequently
met composition of words in the text, i.e. titles, the first name, family name and
nickname of the emperor.

In the fifth chapter the names of the emperors mother and father are
presented, his grandfathers names, those of his great grandfather and greatgreat grandfather, as well as some of their wives names that are inscribed in the
text.
In the sixth chapter the categories of young maids inscribed in the text
are thoroughly analyzed.
In the seventh chapter the different categories of priests mentioned in
the text are considered.
In the eighth chapter a detailed analysis of the last row of the text is
presented. The basic reason for this is the fact that here an order was given indicating in which temples, in which lands and with what kinds of scripts the decree was to be written. Unlike the ancient Greek text, in which only the temples
from (the) first, (the) second and (the) third rank are given, in the demotic text
the groups of temples were mentioned such as the God Snake of the Mouth, the
God of Asswan and our God. It should be mentioned that the God Snake was
the God of the Nile Delta and the Lower Egypt, and the God Asswan was the
supreme God of Upper Egypt, which is widely-accepted fact in the contemporary scholarship in this field. With respect to the parts of the land where the
stone with the decree was to be placed, and also with respect to the two scripts
besides the Hellenic one in which the decree was to be written, there is not any
evidence in the ancient Greek text, for the simple reason that a part of the stone
is broken off. In the analyzed text we managed to identify the three lands in
whose temples it was stated that the stone should be placed. The lands are
Egypt, Sinai and the land of the greatest God Cho of Thnani (we suppose that
this territory is the area of Nathania, todays part of Israel). We find a description of the script in which the decree was to be written, that of the Supreme
Priests, of the Alive Masters and the script of the Danai. The script of the living masters is the script of the ancient Macedonians, because the living masters
originated from the ancient Macedonians, and the name Danai is most probably
a sign of how the ancient Macedonians addressed the Greeks in that period.
In the ninth chapter the names of the territories and peoples that we find
in the text are considered. We succeeded in identifying what the ancient Macedonians used to call Egypt, both parts of Egypt Lower and Upper Egypt, as
well as the ancient Macedonian name for Sinai. The names of the ethnic groups
living in the ancient Egypt are mentioned in the text. It is interesting to mention
that besides the Egyptians (in the original in the demotic text called Gjupatsi
[Gjupatsi] (equivalent to english Gypsies) and the Danai (the ancientMacedonian term for ancient Greeks) a special ethnic group of the Egyptian
Danai is mentioned. It is even more interesting that the ancient Macedonians
Prilozi, Odd. mat. teh. nauki, XXVI, 2 (2005), s. 7122

T. Boevski, A. Tentov

called themselves the children of Dea [detsa na Dea], who, according to contemporary scholarship, was the Mother Goddess among the ancientMacedonians.
In the tenth chapter the names of the ancient Macedonians gods are
presented. For some of them we managed to figure out their function as gods,
too. In the text we also identify the names of some ancient Egyptian gods, in
the way they were named in original, in ancient Egyptian. Considering the fact
that in the ancient Greek text those same gods were written down using their
original ancient Greek names, for the first time we are in a position to state what
one and the same god used to be called in ancient Egyptian, ancient Macedonian
and ancient Greek. This finding is the complete opposite of the interpretation of
contemporary scholarship where the ancient Egyptian gods in the text written in
hieroglyphic script have been given the same names as those given in the ancient Greek text. In our research we prove the assumption that among different
peoples and in different languages the gods names must differ, only their functions remain the same.
A summary is added at the end of the text.
A dictionary of terms is given in Appendix 1. The terms were read according to the suggested procedure for reading. For easier use the dictionary is
given in the form of a table with five columns: the first column gives the original entry is given, the second column gives the transcript generated according to
our procedure, the third column gives the wiring for sound of the corresponding
entry according to the original wiring for sound procedure presented in the text,
the fourth column gives the interpretation of the meaning in the contemporary
Macedonian language, and the fifth column gives the translation of the corresponding entry in English which was done on the basis of the ancient Greek text
and is present in the corresponding literature. This is done in order to compare
the results from the reading according to the presented procedure with generally
known and accepted results from the reading of the ancient Greek text.
1. BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SCRIPT
In writing the middle text of the Rosetta Stone a script with the following characteristics was used:
the direction of writing is from right to left;
there are no punctuation marks in todays sense;
there are no capital letters;

15

Tracing the script and the language of the ancient Macedonians

there is no division of words and use of blank space, it is written in an


unbroken string;
the script used is the syllabic from the type consonant-vowel, with a
minimal use of determined signs from pictographic writing.

1.1. Identification of the Syllabic Signs


The relatively wide range of the available text, of about 4500 signs,
gives us an opportunity to identify the forms of the signs which are the basis of
the script used. The most frequent ones are denoted asymmetrical, symmetrical
and slanting signs.
1.1.1. Asymmetrical Syllabic Signs
The characteristic of the asymmetrical syllabic signs is it they can be
written using 8 (eight) different dispositions on the writing surface (plane) to
denote syllables using one consonant with 8 vowels in a monosemic (unambiguous) way.
In the analyzed text 12 (twelve) asymmetrical signs were identified.
They are the following:
1

10

11

12

as the signs for 12 (twelve) consonants.


Each of these 12 signs in the writing surface (plane), can be written in
using 8 (eight) dispositions, as:

In this way, with only 12 different asymmetrical signs 12 x 8 = 96 syllables of the consonant vowel type can be written in a monosemic (unambiguous) way.
The asymmetrical signs noted under the numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 8 and 9, in
the positions written under the numbers 1, 3, 5 and 7 were used in the 16th cen-

tury as signs for writing numbers by the well-known mathematician Cardan, in


his work Systems for Writing Numbers.
As in the analyzed text, where the consonant was determined by the
form of the sign, and the vowel in the syllable was determined by the position
of the sign, in his work Cardan determined the numbers with the form of the
sign, and determined wieghts with their disposition (ones, tens, hundreds and
thousands) in the number, as shown on Figure 1.1.

Fig. 1.1. System for Writing Numbers


(from Cardans book ARS MAGNA,.., , system for writing numbers, ..)

If we remember that the Rosetta text dates from the second century B.C.
and was written on the territory of Egypt, while Cardan was working in the 16th
century A.D. in Italy, we can conclude that after 1800 years there was still a
knowledge in the Mediterranean area about the signs in the Rosetta text.
1.1.2. Symmetrical Syllabic Signs
The characteristic of the symmetrical syllabic signs is that 4(four) different dispositions can be written on the writing surface (plane) to denote syllables of one consonant with four vowels in a monosemic (unambiguous) way. In
the analyzed text 6 (six) signs were identified. They are the following:

Contributions, Sec. Math. Tech. Sci., MANU, XXVI, 2 (2005), p. 7122

Tracing the script and the language of the ancient Macedonians

17

as marks for 6 (six) consonants.


Each of these 6 marks in the writing surface (plane), can be written in
with 4 (four) dispositions, as follows:

In this way, using 6 different signs 6 x 4 = 24 different syllables of the


consonant vowel type can be written in a monosemic (unambiguous) way.
1.1.3. Inclined Syllabic Signs
The inclined syllabic signs, like the symmetrical syllabic signs, can be
written on the writing surface (plane) with 4 (four) different dispositions to denote syllables of one consonant with four vowels in a monosemic (unambiguous) way. They are the following:

Each of these 6 marks in the writing surface (plane), can be written using 4 (four) dispositions, as in the following example:

In this way, using 6 different signs 6 x 4 = 24 different syllables of the


type consonant vowel can be written in a monosemic (unambiguous) way.
1.1.4. Specific Syllabic Sign
It should be specially emphasized that a specific sign occurs in the text,
which was identified by us in 4 forms. They are the following:

Prilozi, Odd. mat. teh. nauki, XXVI, 2 (2005), s. 7122

18

T. Boevski, A. Tentov

The last form, two slanting lines brought nearer in the upper part of this
syllabic sign, we find even today in many syllabic scripts of the Asian continent.
1.2. Signs for Isolated Writing of Consonants
Some of the consonants in the text are found to be written separately, in
the following form:

The slanting line in the composition of the basic sign in the first two
and the last, is used with the function of virama, i.e. it eliminates the vowel of
the corresponding syllable.
1.3. Signs for Isolated Writing of Vowels
While writing, there was a need to write down an isolated vowel. Signs
in only one position were used for writing down an isolated vowel. The following signs, which reflect to represent vowels, were identified in the text:

1.4. Pictographic Signs


As a remnant of some older script in the analyzed text several signs occur which do not adapt to the syllabic concept. This refers mainly to the very
frequently occurring three vertical lines and three slant lines:

which means an occurrence (that has been) already studied in the corresponding
literature in this field.
Two other signs occur, but not very frequently, which cannot be syllabically explained either. They are the following:

Contributions, Sec. Math. Tech. Sci., MANU, XXVI, 2 (2005), p. 7122

Tracing the script and the language of the ancient Macedonians

19

The first sign represents a stylized form of the Egyptian god of the
dead, and the second sign is a stylized form of a snake.
1.5. Writing of Ligatures
It is obvious that in the text syllabic signs have not only been written
next to each other, but they have also been written one above the other, as in the
example:

We call these forms ligatures and we think that they reflect a specific
characteristic of the language which was being expressed through the script.
In most cases there are 2 to 3 signs in the ligatures. As a rule, the beginning of a word was written with a ligature, whereas the end of the word
whose beginning was written in a form of ligature was realized with one and
very rarely with 2 to 3 syllables (signs).
2. WIRING FOR SOUND OF THE IDENTIFIED SIGNS
The syllabic scripts contain the characteristics of the language that they
are used to write much more than do the sound scripts.
If the basic assumption is that the analyzed text is written in the language of the ancient Macedonians, the determination of the sound characteristics of that language will be realized through the sound features of the domestic
population in the Balkan area, as their parent territory. We assume that the
sound values of the vowels and consonants, as mostly not liable to changes,
have retained the same pronunciation up to the present day.
2.1. Wiring for Sound of the Syllabic Signs
The wiring for sound of the identified syllabic signs can be realized by
finding words in the text which have preserved their meaning to the present day
in languages or dialects in the Balkan area or farther afield in the European area.
In this phase the analysis will, of course, be based on a comparison between
Prilozi, Odd. mat. teh. nauki, XXVI, 2 (2005), s. 7122

20

T. Boevski, A. Tentov

words from the text of the Rosetta Stone and archaisms from the dialects of the
contemporary Macedonian language.
2.1.1. Wiring for Sound of the Asymmetrical Syllabic Signs
Using more than one hundred words from the contemporary Macedonian language, all 12 (twelve) asymmetrical signs were wired for sound with
corresponding consonants. They are:
1

J
[j]

\
[gj]

R
[r]

P

T

S

C

[
[sh]

^
[tch]

The asymmetrical signs R[r] and J[j] in todays and in the ancient Macedonian script have the same form and the same sound. According to their
written form the remaining asymmetrical signs are mutually similar, and in their
pronunciation, too, for example the asymmetrical signs @[zh], Z[z], and Y[dz].
The similarity in writing and in the pronunciation also applies to the asymmetrical signs S[s], C[ts], ^[tch], [[sh].
Each of these 12 consonants on the writing surface (plane), can be written using 8 dispositions and can denote syllables with 8 consonants, as in the
example of the sign for the consonant J[j].

The procedure of mirroring and rotating the basic sign on the writing
surface (plane) in order to attach the corresponding vowel from the syllable is
shown on Figure 2.1 for consonant P [p].
All 8 (eight) positions of writing are identified in the text, which means
they have been wired for sound with all 6 active vowels in todays Slavic languages and the long forms of the vowels O[ ] and E[ ] which have been pre-

served in the contemporary Slovenian language [1, 2], as well as in some of the
dialects of the Macedonian language (Miyatchki and Vevtchanski, [7]).

All forms of the asymmetrical signs with their wiring for sounds are
presented in the Table 2.1.

2.1.2. Wiring for Sound of the Symmetrical Syllabic Signs


Using about 20 words from the contemporary Macedonian language, 6
symmetrical signs were wired for sound. They are:
1

B[b] V[v] M[m] H[h]

5
G[g]

6
X[dzh]

No more than 4 positions for writing were found for each of the signs
wired for sound in the text. The formation of syllables in the corresponding
vowels is shown in the table 2.2., positions 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7, respectively.
T a b l e 2.2
Symmetrical and Inclined Signs and Their Wiring for Sound

In order to form a syllable with the vowel i[i], we identified that the
signs of the consonants V[v] and L[l] were written with the mark for virama
and then the symbol for the vowel i[i] was added.

23

2.1.3. Wiring for Sound of the Inclined Syllabic Signs


Unlike the asymmetrical signs, where the vertical line is dominant in
the basic sign, in the inclined signs an inclined line is dominant. And for these
signs no more than 4 positions for writing were identified.
The formation of syllables with corresponding vowels is shown in the
table 2.2, positions 3, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13, respectively.
1

F[f]

L[l]

Q[lj]

N[n]

K[k]

][kj]

In the text the sign for the consonant Q[lj] most frequently occurs in a
syllable with the vowel y[u], which is also characteristic in the contemporary
Macedonian language.
The first sign from left to right in the analyzed text is a rotated form of
the sign B[b] for 45 degrees in the clockwise direction. No defining word for
this sign has yet been found in todays Macedonian language, and our assumption is that most probably it represents the consonant F[f].
2.1.4. Wiring for Sound of the Specific Syllabic Signs
The specific syllabic sign which in form recalls the letter D[d] in the
Cyrillic alphabet was proved by wiring for sound in all its forms, such as:

Do[do] De[de]

Da[da]

Di[di]

Apart from our research, the syllabic sign Di[di] has the same form of
wiring for sound in the monograph Praslavyanskaya Pismenost by G. S.
Grinevich, Moscow 1933, [5].
2.2. Wiring for Sound of the Signs for Isolated Consonants
The frequent use was noted of some isolated consonants which were
wired for sound in the following way:

L[l] (P[r])

B[v]

N[n]

Prilozi, Odd. mat. teh. nauki, XXVI, 2 (2005), s. 7122

P[p]

24

T. Boevski, A. Tentov

The pronunciation of the isolated consonant changes into soft P[r],


sound which we have it even today in the pronunciation of words from the Macedonian language. It should be mentioned here that contemporary scholarship
has concluded that it was during the Ptolemaic dynasty that a distinction was
made for the first time between the sounds L[l] and P[r], which was appropriately transferred into the script, i.e. in the analyzed text.
The pronunciation of the isolated consonant v[v] most frequently occurs
in the formation of the syllable with the vowel i[i], or in the formation of the
preposition vo [vo] (equivalent to the English prepositions in, at), in original vv
[vv]
.
The inclined line without addition
denotes the isolated consonant
n[n] which is very frequently used in the contemporary Macedonian language.
2.3. Wiring for Sound of the Signs for Isolated Vowels
In the analyzed text, most frequently used sign is the vertical line ( ),
which was wired for sound with the vowel i[i]. Besides the use of the vowel i
[i] as a conjunction, it is also used at the end of the word for formation of the
plural of nouns and adjectives.
The horizontal line ( ) was wired for sound with the vowel a[a]. It is
also frequently used as a conjunction.
The wiring for sound of the identified signs for the vowels is the following:

O[o]

[ ]

U[u]

E[e]

A[a]

I[i]

2.4. Wiring for Sound of the Pictographic Signs


The very frequent occurrence and the place of occurrence of the three
vertical lines
as a single sign suggest its meaning: BOGA [Boga]. In the
above-mentioned monograph by G.S. Grinevich , this sign was also wired for
sound with BOGA [Boga]. We prove our conclusion by deciphering the adjective Bo`en [bozhen] (equivalent to English divine), written down using syllabic signs previously formerly wired for sound in form
and their
superlative form najbo`en [naibozhen] (equivalent to English the most divine)
.

The three inclined lines occur in a specific construction to define the


term SVETOST (equivalent in English the Eminence), in original inscribed
as:

which was wired for sound as (the way it is read from right to left):
oT(R)LadopsoG eV ZaN IoM e\I oT(R)LadopsoG eV ZaN IoM
[ot(r)ladopsog ev zan iom ejgi ot(r)ladopsog ev zan iom]
which was translated into Macedonian as
Gospodarite na Gospodarite [gospodarite na gospodarite]
(equivalent to English Masters of the Masters)
or
Gospodin Gospodin [gospodin gospodin]
(equivalent to English Master Master)
which associates with present-day title and addressing His Beatitude the Head
of the Macedonian Orthodox Church Gospodin Gospodin [gospodin gospodin], which is the only way of addressing heads among the Orthodox church.
In another form, it occurs as a synonym of the pharaohs, i.e. for Our
Living Masters, originally inscribed in form

which was wired for sound as (the way it is read from right to left):
aT(R)LadopsoG eV @aN IoM
[at(r)ladopsog ev hzan iom]
and translated into contemporary Macedonian language:
Moite `ivi gospodari [moite zhivi gospodari]
(equivalent to English My Living Masters)
If for the sign we conclude the pronunciation of soft P[r], as is the
case in contemporary Macedonian language, then from the analysis of the previous examples of the three inclined lines we can definitely give the wiring for
sound of GOSPODA [gospoda] (equivalent to English Masters).
Prilozi, Odd. mat. teh. nauki, XXVI, 2 (2005), s. 7122

2.5. Wiring for Sound of the Ligatures


The signs used for writing ligatures have preserved their sound value:
they were mutually connected with the preposition na [na] (equivalent to the
English prepositions on, at,), if written next to each other or one above the
other, as in the example:
AeDaN [aedan]

I YaN jaN [iezdanjan]

A [aN [ahsan]

ZoLaN [ezolan]

AIoRaN [aioran]
Usually the ligatures were written at the beginning of the word, and the
word was ended by adding 1 or 2 syllabic signs. In some cases two successive
words can be connected with a ligature, which makes the process of the division
of words additionally difficult in a continuously written text. Most frequently 2
to 3 signs were used in a ligature.

3. SOME RULES FOR WRITING


By identification or wiring for sound of the syllabic signs, the findings
for writing isolated consonants and vowels so far described, as well as deciphering the ligatures, certain necessary conditions were discovered for a further
analysis of the rules for writing and reading the analyzed text.
3.1. Writing Superlatives of Adjectives
Writing the syllabic signs one on the other or one over the other, it is
possible to form superlative forms of adjectives in an effective way in those
languages which do not contain the prefix naj_ [nai] (equivalent to English the
_est/ the most ). In that case the basic form of the adjective was written above the sign for the syllable J

In the analyzed text, more cases of formation of superlative form in this


way were identified, such as:

the basic and superlative form, written in this way, and which have the same
meaning to this very day.
Prilozi, Odd. mat. teh. nauki, XXVI, 2 (2005), s. 7122

28

T. Boevski, A. Tentov

3.2. Writing the Plural of Nouns


In many Slavic languages, and especially in the Macedonian language,
the plural of nouns and adjectives is often formed by adding i[i] at the end of
the noun in singular. In the analyzed text, we also identified the formation of
the plural in this way, as in the example:

Gospodar
[gospodar]
Lord

Gospodari
[gospodari]

Sve{tenik
[svehtenik]

Equivalent to English
Lords
Priest

Sve{tenici
[svehtenitsi]

Priests

In the dictionary of the identified words, 5 words were added in the singular and plural formed in this way, and they have kept the same meaning to
this very day.
It is very important to mention that in [3] when forming the plural of
nouns a vertical line was added at the end of the word. The author, in contrast to
our research and findings, treats the sign for vertical line as a mark for the plural. This is completely comprehensible if it is known that according to [3] it is
not possible to read the demotic script sign for sign (in accordance with our
findings that corresponds to reading/writing syllable for syllable), but is being
read word for word.
3.3. Non-defining and Defining Form of Nouns
While reading the analyzed text we identified nouns in the definite and
indefinite form, as:

Gospodar
[gospodar]

Gospodarto
[gospodarto]

Equivalent to English
Lord

The lord

in the singular, as well as

29

Tracing the script and the language of the ancient Macedonians

Gospodari
[gospodari]

Gospodarta
[gospodarta]

Equivalent to English

Lords

The lords

in the plural.
The definite article is to [to], and for the plural is ta [ta], equivalent in
English the.
In several other cases the definite form of nouns was made by adding
mo [mo] (some type of case form) as in the example:

Boga
[boga]

Bogamo

Deca

[bogamo]

[detsa]

Decamo
[detsamo]

Equivalent in English
God

Gods

Kid

Kids

We can conclude from our analyses to date that except in these cases,
we have very rarely identified other case forms.

4. MENTIONING THE NAME OF THE EMPEROR (PHARAOH)


Mentioning the name of the emperor (pharaoh) in the analyzed text is
the most frequently occurring composition of words. According to the findings
of our research and in accordance with the suggested wiring for sound of the
signs, addressing the ruler was very similar with todays way of addressing the
contemporary rulers.
4.1. The Title of the Emperor (Pharaoh)
From what has been said to date we can identify 2 words when the
name of the emperor (pharaoh) is mentioned as 2 superlatives, from right to left:

(equivalent to English the most honourable name),
Naj`iveni (Ve~en) [naizhiveni] ([vetchen]),
(equivalent to English for ever living).
The Greek words
correspond to these titles.

(read from left to right)

4.2. The Name of the Emperor (Pharaoh)


We have concluded that after the title follows the name of the emperor
(pharaoh), which is not formal in todays sense, but is descriptive:
I JeViD
[i jevid]

oMagoB
[omagob]

JoT
[ jot]

Translated to contemporary Macedonian language: Toj komu bogovite mu se divat (voshituvaat) [toi komu bogovite mu se divat]
(equivalent to English He who is beloved by the gods).
This Macedonian name is translated into ancient Greek with the words:

The word
in ancient Greek means bogovi [bogovi] (equivalent
to the English gods), and the word
means That one who is beloved by the gods. The accuracy of the suggested way of reading and wiring for
sound is more than clear from this.
The method of forming personal names with word Boga [boga] is frequent in contemporary Macedonian language. The following names are very

frequent: Bogomil [bogomil], Bogoljub [bogoljub], Bogovid [bogovid], Bozidar [bozhidar], Bozana [bozhana] and others.
4.3. The Family Name of the Emperor (Pharaoh)
The family name of the emperor (pharaoh), i.e. the name of the dynasty
was recognized in the expressions (read from right to left):

JeVi[aN
[ jevihsaN]

LoToP
[lotop ]

eM SiaN
[em siaN]

CIaN
[ ciaN]

Translated into contemporary Macedonian for the name of the dynasty


was obtained in a descriptive form:
naiceneto naisemejstvo od grad na karpa izgradeniot
[naitseneto naisemeistvo od grad na karpa izgradeniot]
(equivalent to English the most respected the most family from town
on the stone built).
The following expression was used for translation in the ancient Greek
text

.
Which is read by present day scholarship in succession as one word

.
The first word
is a term for town, E is a preposition, and
is a goddess of (the) earth of the ancient Greeks.
This practically means that the term
means in ancient
Greek town of the goddess of (the) earth, which coincides completely with our
reading of the corresponding term in the middle text of the stone.
4.4. The Nickname (Public Name) of the Emperor (Pharaoh)
When the emperor (pharaoh) is mentioned with all his titles and full
name and family name, or when only his family name is mentioned, it always
ends with the expression (read from right to left):

5. MENTIONING THE NAMES OF THE EMPERORS (PHARAOHS)
ANCESTORS
In the analyzed text, the names of the pharaohs parents were mentioned
in many places. In two instances the names of all the pharaohs male ancestors
were mentioned (father, grandfather, great grandfather and great-great grandfather). Besides the names of the male ancestors, their wives names are mentioned in various places of the text.
5.1. The Names of the Emperors (Pharaohs) Parents
The names of the parents are found together in several places of the
text, and the fathers name stands alone in certain places.

The mothers name is:

5.2. The Names of the Emperors (Pharaohs) Ancestors


Taking into consideration that the decree on the stone was ordered in
the time of Pharaoh Ptolemy V, the names of all his 4 ancestors were found (father, grandfather, great grandfather and great-great grandfather). They were put
in the second and third row, as well as in the 22nd row of the text in ancient Macedonian language. The order of mentioning the ancestors at the end of the second line and the beginning of the third one begins with the eldest (the founder
of the dynasty, Alexanders General Soter) and it ends with the name of the
pharaohs father. The name of Alexander stands before the name of the founder
of the dynasty. The 22nd line begins by mentioning the name of the pharaohs
father, and ends with the first in the dynasty (emperors great-great grandfather).

In the second and third line, where the ancestors have been mentioned
from the eldest to the pharaohs father, among their names the noun DECA
[detsa] (equivalent to English children) has the meaning of successors. As a
result of that, in original we find the following text:

We have pointed this out because of the fact that the beginning of the
third line is missing because that part of the stone is broken off. By emphasizing
this, we want to demonstrate and stress what must have stood in that place

It is important to point out that this way of mentioning a persons ancestors is
absolutely identical with the way it is done in the Bible.
5.3. The Names of the Wives of the Emperors (Pharaohs) Ancestors

In several places in the text the names of the wives of the emperors
(pharaohs) ancestors are mentioned, such as:

This special way of addressing the wives by emphasizing their names
followed by the first names of their husbands is found even to this day in a
slightly changed form in the western part of Macedonia, where the wife is addressed by the name of her husband and adding the word ica [itsa].

6. CATEGORIES OF YOUNG MAIDS


In the analyzed text we succeeded in deciphering the categories of
young maids that are present and mentioned in the ancient Greek text, such as:

It must be stressed here that we find the same form of address, as will
be explained, in the case of the term of address SVETI [sveti] (equivalent to
English Sacred), as Gospodin Gospodin [gospodin gospodin] (equivalent to
English Master Master), in the following chapter.

Greeks as the god Osiris.

priests titles, such as:

We must mention that in the south-west part of Macedonia, i.e. in the


wider region of present settlement Ptolemaida which is situated in northern
Greece, among the Macedonian population we find the family name [emovi
[shemovi], which according to our findings would have to correspond to the
contemporary family name Popovi [popovi] (equivalent in English Priests).
8. DECIPHERING THE LAST LINE OF THE TEXT
According to the ancient Greek text, in the last line the pharaoh orders
(in the following succession) the decree to be written in 3 scripts and to be
placed in the temples of (the) first, (the) second and (the) third rank near the
statue of the pharaoh, although just here a part of the stone is broken off (the
part is missing).
In the analyzed text, the pharaohs order was identified in a different
succession, first in which three classes temples of gods, then in which three regions of the country a stone should be placed, and finally, in which scripts in the
language of the three circles of the population it should be written.
The pharaoh divided his wish into two orders beginning with the word
javi [javi] (equivalent in English ordered) in the original form written (from
right to left) with
iVJ [iv j].

8.1. Analysis of the First Order


The first order begins with the expression to be made of stone, in the
original written as:

NeVIeV [aN

Napraveni od kamen

[neviev hsan]

[napraveni od kamen]
(equivalent to English Made of stone)

The order continues with:

(equivalent to English

The order continues with the names of the three regions of the land, the
first is Egypt, the second Asswan, and the third is the land of the greatest God
Cho NaThnani, the expression written in original:

T. Boevski, A. Tentov

In respect of the Greek text, here we find significantly more precise information which indirectly proves the primary importance of this text in respect
of the other two.
8.2. Analysis of the Second Order
The second order begins with the expression:
Da bide na kamen navezeno (napi{ano)
[da bide na kamen navezeno (napishano)]
(equivalent to English
To be on stone embroidered (written))
Written in the original with the expression:

eNeZeVaNi[aN

eDB

[enezevan ihs an

ed b]

In this case, for the word written the term embroidered is used, which
is to this day figuratively used for writing in some dialects of the Macedonian
language.
In the analyzed text, a single identification is used for stating the identity of the scripts and languages in which the decree was to be written, or a social circle in a multi ethnic society of that time Egypt.

The second order ends with the expression written in original as:

oTaC i[ VV aC JeRaN
[otac ihs vv
ac jeran]
which means:
Pisma vo kamen tvrd
[pisma vo kamen tvrd]
(equivalent to English:
Scripts in stone hard).
We can conclude from the contents of the second order that for the upper text (hieroglyphs sacred script) the expression script of the Supreme
(High) priests was used. The expression script of the Alive Masters was used
for the middle script (demotic), and those were the Ancient Macedonians. But
the term the Danai was used for the lowest text (ancient Greek).
From the example of the contents of the last line of the decree, which in
all probability has the same contents with the three texts, due to the different
structure of the languages it is not possible to accept that those texts are totally
identical, especially because of the different pronunciation of the names of the
peoples, gods and emperors (pharaohs).
If we bear in mind that our own personal names in those times had the
same descriptive character, in translating the text from one language into another, the personal names were also translated in accordance with their meaning, and obtained a completely different pronunciation.
9. NAMES OF TERRITORIES AND PEOPLES
In the analyzed text we find names of territories and peoples in the corresponding territories.

Prilozi, Odd. mat. teh. nauki, XXVI, 2 (2005), s. 7122

42

T. Boevski, A. Tentov

9.1. Names of Territories


Since the text in the stones primarily refers to the territory of Egypt, we
find the name of Egypt most frequently, not only when the whole territory of
Egypt has to be inscribed, but also the names of Upper and Lower Egypt respectively.
In original the name of Egypt is the following:

oTP u\A
[otp ujga]
This name comes from the analysis of the pharaohs order written in the
last line in demotic text, in the part which gave the territories where, in the corresponding temples of certain gods, the stone was to be placed. The analysis of
the text in the last line is shown in detail in the previous chapter.
The name of Egypt in ancient Greek is

The name of Upper Egypt in original is:

aP \ [ap jg]

The name of Lower Egypt in original is:

Z \ [ z jg]

It is known that the Mouth of the Nile is in Lower Egypt. In the original
the term is the following:
ZU
[ zu]
The findings that the term Uze [uze] in ancient Macedonian is today
pronounced USTIE [ustie], comes directly from the analysis of the last line in
the text. In the order which mentions the gods in whose temples the stone with
the decree by Ptolemy V Epiphany Eucharist had to be placed, i.e. in ancient
Macedonian Naj@ VeNe Toj BogaMo DiVeJ I PoToL Na[iVeJ
(The Immortal He Whom the Gods Admire from the town on stone built, as today we would say) it says that one of them is the God Snake Of Uze. It is generally accepted that the God Snake was the God of the Nile Delta, i.e. of its
mouth. Consequently, the conclusion more than simply follows that the
term
read from right to left \ Ze [Gj ze], denotes Lower Egypt.
The word pa [pa] (equivalent to English well) in the ancient Macedonian was used in linking constructions when numbering before an article in the

Tracing the script and the language of the ancient Macedonians

43

sequence being stated. An example for this is giving the scripts in which the
decree was to be written, in the last line, where before the script of the Alive
Masters there is the linking construction i na pajb [i na pai] (equivalent to
English as well as). The term
understood in this way, read from right to
left as \ Pa [gj pa], denotes Upper Egypt.
In order to prove that our assertion is correct, that the terms \bZe and
\bPa in ancient Macedonian match the terms Lower Egypt and Upper Egypt
respectively, a thorough analysis was conducted of the places in the text where
in the ancient Greek text these two parts of ancient Egypt are mentioned, and a
comparison was made with the places where the two previously mentioned
terms were found in the ancient Macedonian text. For instance, the following is
written in the 12th line of the demotic text for the terms Upper Egypt and Lower
Egypt:
aP \aN I Z \aN
[ap jgan i ez jgan]
(equivalent in English
Lower and Upper Egypt)
which completely corresponds with the mention of Upper Egypt and Lower
Egypt in the ancient Greek text.
9.2. Names of peoples
In the analyzed text, while stating the names of the pharaohs ancestors,
in the 22nd line of the middle text of the stone, the peoples whom they ruled are
also mentioned. After the name of the Philopator (N [e @e NajY Ito
[n she zhe naidzeito] I Na{iot NajSvetol [i nashiot naisvetol]
(Equivalent in English And Our Most Bright), for the peoples whom he

ruled was written in the original:


eNaP \ aN
[enap jgan

V JaNaD aN
ev janad an]

which means in todays Macedonian


[na danajtsive i na gjuptsite],

T. Boevski, A. Tentov

(Equivalent in English
To the Danai (the Greeks) and to the Gypsies).
After the names of Eurgetai (@eQu Pe IMe [zhelju pe ime] Dobrodetel [dobrodetel] (Equivalent in English Benefactor)) and Adelphoi
(YeVo [dzevo] Svetol [svetol] (Equivalent in English Bright) for the peoples whom they ruled was written in the original:

eNaP \aN
[enap jgan

V JaNaD oMaP \aN


ev janad omap jgan

V JaNaD aN
ev janad an]

which means in contemporary Macedonian


[na danajtsive i na egipetskite danajtsi i na gjuptsite],
(Equivalent in English
To the Danai (the Greeks),
To the Egyptian Danai (the Egyptian Greeks) and To the Gypsies).
It is interesting to consider the third ethnic group besides the Danai and
the Gypsies, i.e. the Egyptian Danai. This means that besides the Danai ethnic
group on the Balkans at the time of the first ruler from the Ptolemy dynasty,
there existed a separate Danai entity on the territory of Egypt. Toward the end
of the 11th line in the demotic text this entity is mentioned in the original as:

aP \ aN
[ap jgan

V JaNaD
ev janad]

In English this denotes the Danai from Upper Egypt, by which their
territory was determined.
10. NAMES OF THE GODS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS
In the middle text of the Rosetta Stone we find the names and functions
of many gods. As a result of their titles, which literally meant a characteristic of
the language and writing of the ancient Macedonians, we were able to identify

45

Tracing the script and the language of the ancient Macedonians

names of several Egyptian gods even in the original way that they were called in
ancient Egyptian. In the analyzed text we also found the names, most probably,
of all the gods of the ancient Macedonians.
10.1. Names of the Gods and Their Functions for the Ancient Macedonians
According to our research, in the middle text we were able to read the
names of most probably all gods of the ancient Macedonians. For a certain
number of gods we are able to determine their functions, too. It is most characteristic that almost all the gods names are monosyllabic. Their names and functions are the following:

eY agoB

aS agoB

eV agoB

oV agoB

In contemporary Macedonian:
Boga Ye
Boga Sa Boga Ve Boga Vo
[boga dze] [boga sa] [boga ve] [boga vo]

H agoB

X agoB

iL agoB

In contemporary Macedonian:
Boga H
Boga X
Boga Li
[boga h ] [boga dzh ] [boga li]

a^L agoB

iV agoB

eD agoB

Boga Vi
[boga vi]

aK agoB ajimZ agoB

Boga L^a Boga Ka Boga Zmija


[boga ltcha] [boga ka] [boga zmia]

God Ye [dze] is a supreme god, god of the summers and of the light
)
(the sun) (in ancient Greek text inscribed as
God Sa [sa] is god of the gardens and vineyards (planting)
God Ve [ve] is god of the builders (craftsmen)
God Vo [vo] is god of waters
God Vi [vi]
God De [de]
God H [ho] is god of war (spearmen)
God X [dzho]
God Li [li] is god of forests (autumn), of renovation (in ancient Greek
text inscribed as
)
Prilozi, Odd. mat. teh. nauki, XXVI, 2 (2005), s. 7122

46

T. Boevski, A. Tentov

God L^a [ltcha] is goddess of the light ray/sunrise (in ancient Greek
text inscribed as
)
God Ka [ka] was also found among the Sumerians in the shape of a
snake
God Zmija [zmia] The God Snake
We concluded the god Ye [dze] (by his function god of the summers)
was a supreme god because in the text he is addressed very similarly to a pharaoh, i.e. with two epithets in the superlative, of which only the second one is
different. Instead of Naj`eveni [naizheveni] (equivalent to English forever
living) which was used when addressing the pharaoh, is Najsvetol [naisvetol]
(equivalent to English The most Bright), and in the original it is the following:

IoTL agoB eV ZaN IoM


[iotl
agob ev zan iom

I Y JaN
i zd jan

aCNeMI YaN JaN


acnemi zdan jan]

This in contemporary Macedonian (in translation) means:


Najnao~it imenec, najsvetli po na{e bogot na letata.
[nainaochit imenets naisvetli po nashe bogot na letata]
(equivalent to English:
The most honourable, the most bright according to our way of saying
the god of the summers).
10.2. The Names of the Gods and Their Functions among the Ancient Egyptians
The style of addressing the Egyptians gods is especially interesting in
the text. After the name of the god as he was called in ancient Egyptian, there
follows in addition the way he was named in ancient Macedonian. In the original it was written down in the following way:

iL
[il

agoB eV ZaN
agob ev zan

IoM A

agoB aCeNaNA eVaCaP u\

Bogot Ananeca na egip}anite (bogot na obnovuvaweto),


po na{e bogot Li.
[bogot ananetsa na egipkjanite bogot na obnovuvanjeto
po nashe bogot li]
(equivalent to English:
The god Ananetsa of the Egyptians (the god of renovation),
according to our way of saying the god Lee),
as well as the expression

a^L
[ahctl

agoB aTeNaNA
agob

in translation into contemporary Macedonian:


Ananeta boga L^a (bogiwa na svetlosniot zrak
[ananeta boga ltcha boginja na svetlosniot
zrak]
(equivalent to English:
Ananeta god LTCHa goddess of the light ray/sunrise)
According to the legends Ananeta was sister to the god Ananetsa.
In the original text we found this form of address which refers to the
goddess Ananeta and the god Ananetsa:

iL
[il

agoB eV ZaN IoMA


agob ev zan ioma

agoB aCeNaNA a^L agoB aTeNaNA


agob astenana ahctl agob atenana]

in translation into contemporary Macedonian:


Ananeta boga L^a (bogiwa na svetlosniot zrak)
Bogot Ananeca (bogot na obnovuvaweto), po na{e bogot Li.
[ananeta boga ltcha boginja na svetlosniot zrak]
[bogot ananetsa bogot na obnovuvanjeto po nashe bogot li]
(equivalent to English:
Ananeta god LTCHa (goddess of the light ray/sunrise)
The god Ananetsa (the god of renovation), according
to our way of saying the god Lee).
In the ancient Greek text these gods were written as Osiris, which corresponds to Ananetsa, and Isis, corresponding to Ananeta.
Prilozi, Odd. mat. teh. nauki, XXVI, 2 (2005), s. 7122

48

T. Boevski, A. Tentov

Our research in this area is completely different from that of contemporary scholarship. Namely, according to generally accepted attitude today with
the researchers of the hieroglyphic script, the gods names in ancient Egyptian
were written down in the way they were found in the ancient Greek text, i.e. like
Osiris and Isis respectively.
Contrary to this, we think that the gods names in ancient Egyptian
must be different from their ancient Greek names. This is proved by reading the
middle text of the stone, where we find the gods names as previously stated.
More complex names were found which within themselves contain the
term boga [boga],
Such as:

agoB aN agoB
[boga na boga]

God of the God

According to [4] this expression is the old Slavic name for Dionis.
CONCLUSION
The basic assumption of our analysis was that in the middle text of the
Rosetta Stone a syllabic script of only the consonant vowel type is used, with
the following characteristics: the number and pronunciation of the consonants
and vowels. This assumption means a new direction in studying the demotic
script and syllabic scripts from that period, unlike the concept of current scholarship of the wiring for sound of only the syllabic signs with consonants, while
at the same time ignoring the vowels.
The research to date has resulted into identification and wiring for
sound of the syllabic symbols for 25 consonants and 8 vowels.
Almost half of the consonants (12) are denoted using asymmetric signs
which can be in 8 positions on the writing surface (plane) and in that way syllables of one consonant with 8 vowels can be written in a monosemic (unambiguous) way. The remaining consonants are denoted using symmetrical or slanting
signs which can take 4 positions on the writing surface (plane) and thus write
syllables of one consonant and 4 vowels in a monosemic (unambiguous) way.
Some of these consonants make the fifth syllable with the vowel i [i] by using a
sign for an isolated consonant (virama) and next to it writing on a vertical line,
which is the sign for i [i].

Contributions, Sec. Math. Tech. Sci., MANU, XXVI, 2 (2005), p. 7122

Tracing the script and the language of the ancient Macedonians

49

Of the 8 necessary signs for pure vowels, 7 signs have been identified
for writing of isolated vowels, of which the signs for i [i] and for a [a]
are most frequently used. For writing isolated consonant (virama) was used,
whereas for frequently used isolated consonant n [n], a slanting line is used.
As a continuity of some older script, several characteristic forms were
taken over, such as 3 vertical lines (III Boga [boga] equivalent to English
God) and 3 slant lines (/// Gospoda [gospoda] equivalent to English Masters), which are frequently used in the text to denote complete terms.
When writing text, the signs defined in this way were put one next to
another from right to left without a space between the words, in an unbroken
string, without a mark for the beginning and end of a sentence. Besides writing
the signs one next to another, the signs were also written one over another or
one on another, where the sound value of the basic signs was not changed, but
they were interconnected with the preposition na [na] (equivalent to English
prepositions on, at) (ligatures). The frequent use of the preposition na [na]
(equivalent to English prepositions on, at) is even today a characteristic of the
Macedonian language.
Wiring for sound of the basic signs of the analyzed text and defining the
noted rules for the writing of ligatures was carried out by an iterative procedure
of singling out and recognition of about 160 words and most of these have preserved their meaning in some dialects of the contemporary Macedonian language.
Although we do not consider that we had found out all the secrets of the
analyzed script and moreover learnt the used language, we can say with great
assurance that the middle text of the Rosetta Stone was written in a script and
language of the masters of Egypt at that time, i.e. ancient Macedonians.
This text refers to the same event as the two other texts on the stone, but
no identity should be sought and the identity cannot be founded. We say this
because we have concluded, by deciphering the order written in the last line of
the text, that the records were written in scripts and languages of 3 social circles, the Supreme Priests, the Alive Masters and the Danai. From our point of
view and findings, in the scripts and languages of the ancient Egyptians, ancient
Macedonians and ancient Greeks.
A very large consideration from the findings from the reading of the ancient Greek text, especially in the wiring for sound of the personal names of the
rulers and gods, may lead to a misunderstanding which makes it impossible to
obtain correct findings. The Greek names of the rulers and gods do not exist in

the language of the ancient Macedonians nor, most probably, in the language of
the ancient Egyptians either. They are only descriptive translations of the symbolic meaning of the name from the language of the ancient Macedonians into
the language of the ancient Greeks.
The script and the language of the ancient Macedonians was the official
script and language of the Macedonian Empire or as it is known in contemporary scholarship, the script and language in which the laws and the official
documents were written. The mistake in current scholarship is that to learn the
middle text of the Rosetta Stone it prefers the ancient Egyptian language (called
new Egyptian in the available literature) and the area of Egypt, but not ancient
Macedonian language and the area of the Balkans.

Predmet na ova istra`uvawe e de{ifrirawe na sredniot
tekst na kamenot od Rozeta.
Kamenot od Rozeta e eden od najpoznatite tekstualni artefakti od stariot Egipet {to e predmet na golem broj prou~uvawa i
istra`uvawa vo nau~niot svet od ova podra~je. Imeto go dobil spored mestoto kade {to e iskopan, toa e Rozeta, odnosno El-Ra{id na
arapski. Otkrien e od nekoj francuski vojnik koj rabotel na iskopuvawe fortifikaciski objekti za potrebite na vojskata na Napoleon
vo tekot na negovata kampawa vo Egipet, vo 1799 godina. Po kratkotrajniot voen sudir so angliskata vojska koja ja dobiva vojnata, sklu~en e miroven dogovor vo Aleksandrija vo 1802 godina. Soglasno
odredbite na ovoj dogovor, site dobra i artefakti {to gi poseduvala francuskata vojska im pripadnale na Britancite. Vrz osnova na
toa, kamenot od Rozeta e odnesen vo Anglija, kade {to i den-denes se
nao|a i e eden od najpoznatite eksponati na Britanskiot muzej vo
London.
Kamenot od Rozeta pretstavuva karpa crn granit, prika`an

Zna~eweto i interesot {to kamenot od Rozeta go pobudil vo
nau~niot svet se zasnova na toa {to na nego e napi{an poseben dekret, spored sovremenata nauka izdaden od sve{tenicite za veli~awe na faraonot Ptolomej V Epifan Evharistos edna godina po negovoto krunisuvawe, poto~no, soglasno dene{niot kalendar, na 27

{to ovoj dekret e napi{an so tri pisma, i toa: so hieroglifi, so t.n.

Spored soznanijata na sovremenata nauka, i pokraj toa {to


tekstot e napi{an so tri pisma, upotrebeni se dva jazika, i toa: anti~ko-egipetski, vo tekstot napi{an so hieroglifi i so demotsko
pismo, i anti~ko-gr~ki, vo tekstot napi{an so anti~ko-gr~ko pismo.
S do po~etokot na 20-tiot vek bila op{toprifatena tezata deka na
kamenot od Rozeta se upotrebeni tri pisma na tri jazika. Poradi
te{kotiite so opredeluvawe i definirawe na tretiot jazik koj{to
e koristen pri pi{uvaweto na sredniot tekst na kamenot, vo prvata
dekada od 20-tiot vek po~nuva da dominira tezata deka na kamenot se
upotrebeni tri pisma i dva jazika. Na ovoj na~in, sega{nata nauka
zastapuva gledi{te deka za da se napi{e dekretot na kamenot od Rozeta na anti~ko-egipetski jazik se koristeni dve pisma: hieroglifsko i demotsko.
Osnovna pretpostavka pri na{eto istra`uvawe e deka pri
pi{uvawe na tekstot na kamenot od Rozeta upotrebeni se tri pisma, no na tri jazika, i toa: anti~ko-egipetski, napi{an so hieroglifsko pismo, anti~ko-makedonski, napi{an so demotsko pismo, i
anti~ko-gr~ki, napi{an so anti~ko-gr~ko pismo. Ovaa pretpostavka se zasnova vrz faktot {to toga{nite vladeteli na Egipet, dinastijata na Ptolomeite, poteknuvaat od Ptolomej Soter, general na
Aleksandar Makedonski, odnosno se anti~ki Makedonci. I spored
soznanijata na del od sovremenata nauka, anti~kite Makedonci zboruvale na jazik razli~en od anti~ko-gr~kiot, a pove}e od o~igledno
e deka tie morale da znaat da pi{uvaat i da ~itaat na svojot jazik.
Na{a pretpostavka e deka pismoto {to tie go koristele e pismoto
upotrebeno vo sredniot tekst na kamenot od Rozeta, {to denes vo nau~nite krugovi e poznato pod terminot demotsko pismo. Pretpostavkata dobiva na verodostojnost, ako se zeme predvid deka demotskoto
pismo bilo vo univerzalna upotreba vo toga{niot pismen del od
svetot, odnosno se upotrebuvalo i vo toga{na Persija i Egipet za
pi{uvawe na dr`avni dokumenti, dokumenti za imotno-pravni raboti, nau~ni tekstovi, poezija i proza.
Izgledot na sredniot tekst na kamenot od Rozeta e prika`an

Poznato e deka demotskoto pismo po svojot karakter e slogovno, {to zna~i deka sekoj znak ozna~uva eden slog od tipot soglaskasamoglaska. Vo sporedba so bukvenoto pismo, slogovnoto pismo mnogu pove}e e podlo`no na vlijanie vo pogled na jazikot na koj toa se
upotrebuva. Od ovaa pri~ina, bi trebalo da postojat razli~ni varijanti na samoto pismo vo zavisnost od jazikot na koj{to se pi{uva,

Vo prvata glava od tekstot dadeni se osnovnite karakteristiki na analiziranoto pismo. Za razlika od istra`uvawata na Orientalniot institut od ^ikago, vo na{ite istra`uvawa na demotskoto
pismo poa|ame od osnovniot fakt: toa e slogovno pismo i nie go
razgleduvame znak po znak, odnosno slog po slog. Definirani se nekolku grupi na slogovni znaci, spored nivnata namena vo pogled na
toa dali se ozvu~uva slog, samostojna soglaska ili samostojna samoglaska. Isto taka, identifikuvani se i nekolku znaci {to najverojatno se ostatok od nekoe postaro piktografsko pismo i kako takvi
ozna~uvaat cel poim. Definiran e i na~inot na pi{uvawe na t.n. ligaturi, {to spored nas pretstavuva karakteristika na anti~ko-makedonskata varijanta na ova {iroko upotrebuvano pismo vo dadeniot period na mediteransko-aziskata civilizacija.

slogovnite znaci, znacite za ozna~uvawe na ~ista soglaska, ~ista samoglaska i na~inot na ~itawe i ozvu~uvawe na piktografskite znaci i ligaturite. Slogovnite znaci gi klasificirame vo 3 klasi, i
toa: asimetri~ni, simetri~ni i nakoseni znaci. Asimetri~nite znaci se karakteriziraat so toa {to mo`at da imaat 8 polo`bi vo ramninata na pi{uvawe, pa zatoa se upotrebuvaat za zapi{uvawe na soglaskite {to mo`at da formiraat poedine~ni slogovi so site osum
samoglaski, kolku {to gi sodr`el anti~ko-makedonskiot jazik. Simetri~nite i nakosenite slogovni znaci mo`at da imaat samo 4 polo`bi vo ramninata na pi{uvawe, so {to mo`at da se zapi{at slogovi na soodvetni soglaski so 4 samoglaski. Me|utoa, po pravilo soglaskite za ~ie ozna~uvawe se upotrebuva simetri~en ili nakosen
znak pravat dopolnitelno slog i so samoglaskata i. Za zapi{uvawe
na vakvi slogovi, bidej}i ne e predvideno da se koristi slogoven
znak, se upotrebuva ~ista soglaska i oznakata za ~istata samoglaska
i. Kako ostatok od nekoe postaro pismo vo analiziraniot tekst se
sre}ava i upotrebata na 4 piktografski znaci. Za dva od niv go definiravme nivnoto ozvu~uvawe i zna~ewe, dodeka za drugite dva uspeavme da go definirame samo nivnoto zna~ewe. Ligaturite se posebna forma za zapi{uvawe, pri {to na mestoto opredeleno za eden
znak se sre}avaat 2 do 3 znaka napi{ani eden na drug i/ili eden vrz

forma kaj imenkite.
Vo ~etvrtata glava e detalno razrabotena naj~esto sre}avanata kompozicija na zborovi vo tekstot, odnosno titulite, imeto, prezimeto i prekarot na carot.
Vo pettata glava prika`ani se imiwata na majkata i na tatkoto na carot, imiwata na negoviot dedo, pradedoto i prapradedoto,
kako i imiwata na nekoi od nivnite soprugi {to gi sre}avame vo
analiziraniot tekst.
Vo {estata glava obraboteni se kategoriite na mladi prislu`ni~ki {to se nabele`ani vo tekstot.
Vo sedmata glava opfateni se razli~nite kategorii sve{tenici navedeni vo analiziraniot tekst.
Vo osmata glava dadena e detalna analiza na posledniot red
vo tekstot. Osnovnata pri~ina za ova se zasnova na faktot {to ovde
e dadena naredbata vo koi hramovi, vo koi zemji i na koi pisma da se
napi{e dekretot. Za razlika od anti~ko-gr~kiot tekst vo koj se navedeni samo hramovite od prv, vtor i tret red, vo ovoj del od tekstot se
naveduvaat grupite hramovi na Bogot Zmija na Ustieto, Bogot na
Asuan i na{iot Bog. Treba da se napomne deka Bogot Zmija bil Bog na
Deltata na Nil i na Dolen Egipet, a bogot na Asuan glaven Bog na
Goren Egipet, {to e op{toprifaten fakt vo sovremenata nauka od
ova podra~je. Vo odnos na delovite od zemjata kade {to treba da se postavi kamenot so dekretot, kako i vo odnos na dvete pisma na koi{to
pokraj elinskoto pismo treba da se napi{e dekretot nema nikakvi
informacii vo anti~ko-gr~kiot tekst. Ova e od ednostavna pri~ina
{to delot od kamenot na ova mesto e otkr{en. Vo analiziraniot
tekst uspeavme da gi odgatneme trite zemji vo ~ii hramovi se naveduva deka treba da bide postaven kamenot, i toa: Egipet, Sinaj i zemjata na najgolemiot Bog ^o na Tnani (za ovaa teritorija pretpostavuvame deka e podra~jeto na Natanija vo dene{en Izrael).

ta na koi{to treba da bide napi{an dekretot sre}avame opisen prikaz, i toa: pismoto na Vrhovnite sve{tenici, na @ivite gospodari i na Danajcite. Pismoto na vrhovnite sve{tenici e hieroglifskoto pismo, pismoto na `ivite gospodari e pismoto na anti~kite
Makedonci, zatoa {to `ivite gospodari bile po poteklo anti~ki
Makedonci, a imeto Danajci najverojatno bila oznaka so koja anti~kite Makedonci se obra}ale kon Grcite vo toj period.
Vo devettata glava opfateni se imiwata na teritoriite i narodite {to gi sre}avame vo analiziraniot tekst. Uspeavme da identifikuvame kako anti~kite Makedonci go narekuvale Egipet, dvata
dela na Egipet Dolen i Goren Egipet, kako i anti~ko-makedonskoto ime za Sinaj. Vo tekstot se naveduvaat i imiwata na etnosite {to
`iveat vo anti~ki Egipet. Interesno e toa {to pokraj Egip}anite
(vo original vo demotskiot tekst nare~eni \upaci), Danajcite (anti~ko-makedonski termin za anti~kite Grci) se spomnuva i poseben
etnos egipetski Danajci. U{te pointeresno e toa {to anti~kite
Makedonci se narekuvaat deca na Dea, koja{to i spored sovremenata
nauka e Bo`ica Majka kaj Makedoncite.
Vo desettata glava navedeni se imiwata na bogovite na anti~kite Makedonci. Za del od niv uspeavme da ja odgatneme i nivnata funkcija kako bogovi. Vo tekstot gi identifikuvavme i imiwata
na nekoi bogovi na anti~kite Egip}ani, onaka kako {to se narekuvale vo original na anti~ko-egipetski. So ogled na toa {to istite bogovi vo anti~ko-gr~kiot tekst se zapi{ani so nivnite anti~ko-gr~ki imiwa, prvpat sme vo sostojba da navedeme kako eden ist bog se narekuval na anti~ko-egipetski, anti~ko-makedonski i anti~ko-gr~ki.
Ova soznanie e dijametralno sprotivno so tolkuvaweto na sovremenata nauka kade {to na anti~ko-egipetskite bogovi vo tekstot napi{an so hieroglifsko pismo im se davaat istite imiwa kako {to se
navedeni vo anti~ko-gr~kiot tekst. Vo na{ite istra`uvawa ja potvrduvame pretpostavkata deka imiwata na bogovite kaj razli~ni
narodi na razli~ni jazici mora da se razlikuvaat, samo nivnite
funkcii ostanuvaat isti.
Na krajot od tekstot e daden zaklu~okot.

1. OSNOVNI KARAKTERISTIKI
NA ANALIZIRANOTO PISMO
Pri pi{uvaweto na sredniot tekst na kamenot od Rozeta koristeno e pismo so slednive osnovni karakteristiki:

Nasokata na pi{uvawe e oddesno nalevo;


Nema interpunkciski znaci vo dene{na smisla na zborot;
Nema golemi bukvi;
Nema razdeluvawe na zborovite i upotreba na prazno mesto,
se pi{uva vo neprekinata niza;
Upotrebenoto pismo e slogovno, od tipot soglaska samoglaska, so nezna~itelna upotreba na opredeleni znaci od slikovnoto pismo.

1.1. Identifikacija na slogovnite znaci


Relativno zna~ajniot obem na raspolo`liviot tekst, od okolu 4 500 znaci, ni dava {ansa da gi identifikuvame formite na znacite koi se vo osnovata na upotrebenoto pismo. Kako naj~esto pojavuvani, obele`ani se asimetri~ni, simetri~ni i kosi znaci.

1.1.1. Asimetri~ni slogovni znaci


Asimetri~nite slogovni znaci imaat osobina vo ramninata
na pi{uvawe da se zapi{at vo 8 (osum) razli~ni polo`bi i na toj na-

Prilozi, Odd. mat. teh. nauki, XXVI, 2 (2005), s. 7122

T. Bo{evski, A. Tentov

~in ednozna~no da obele`at slogovi na edna soglaska so 8 samoglaski.


Vo analiziraniot tekst se identifikuvani 12 (dvanaeset)
asimetri~ni znaci, i toa:
1

11

12

kako oznaki za 12 (dvanaeset) soglaski.


Sekoj od ovie 12 znaka vo ramninata na pi{uvawe mo`e da
bide zapi{an vo po 8 (osum) polo`bi, kako na primer:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

Na ovoj na~in, so samo 12 razli~ni asimetri~ni znaci ednozna~no mo`at da se napi{at 12 8 = 96 slogovi od vidot soglaska-samoglaska.
Asimetri~nite znaci nabele`ani pod broevite 1, 3, 5, 7, 8 i 9,
vo polo`bata zapi{ana pod broevite 1, 3, 5 i 7 vo XVI vek se koristeni od poznatiot matemati~ar Cardan kako znaci za pi{uvawe broevi, vo negovoto delo "System for writing numbers".
Kako {to vo analiziraniot tekst so oblikot na znakot se
opredeluva soglaskata, a so polo`bata samoglaskata vo slogot, Cardan vo svoeto delo so oblikot na znakot gi opredeluva cifrite, a so
polo`bata gi opredeluva te`inite (edinici, desetki, stotki i iljadi) vo brojot, {to e prika`ano na slika 1.1. Broevite me|u 1 i 9999
se pi{uvaat vo oblik na ligaturi, pri {to e zaedni~ka vertikalnata crta, a se dodavaat strani~nite elementi na soodvetnite cifri,
kako {to e prika`ano vo desniot del na slikata 1.1.
Ako se potsetime deka analiziraniot tekst e od vtoriot vek
pred novata era, zapi{an na teritorijata na Egipet, a Cardan tvorel
vo XVI vek od novata era vo Italija, mo`eme da konstatirame deka

po 1800 godini na Mediteranot s u{te se znaelo za znacite od analiziranoto pismo.

Sl. 1.1. Sistem za pi{uvawe broevi


(od knigata na Cardan, ARS MAGNA, ....., System for writing numbers, ......)

1.1.2. Simetri~ni slogovni znaci


Simetri~nite slogovni znaci imaat osobina vo ramninata na
pi{uvawe da se zapi{at vo 4 (~etiri) razli~ni polo`bi i na toj na~in ednozna~no da obele`at slogovi na edna soglaska so ~etiri samoglaski. Vo analiziraniot tekst se identifikuvani 6 ({est) znaci, i toa:
1

kako znaci za 6 ({est) soglaski.
Sekoj od ovie 6 znaci vo ramninata na pi{uvawe mo`e da
bide zapi{an vo 4 (~etiri) polo`bi, kako na sledniov primer:
1

Prilozi, Odd. mat. teh. nauki, XXVI, 2 (2005), s. 7122

62

T. Bo{evski, A. Tentov

Na ovoj na~in, so 6 razli~ni znaci mo`at ednozna~no da se zapi{at 6 4 = 24 razli~ni slogovi od vidot soglaska-samoglaska.
1.1.3. Nakoseni slogovni znaci
Nakosenite slogovni znaci, isto kako i simetri~nite slogovni znaci, vo ramninata na pi{uvawe mo`at da se zapi{at vo 4 (~etiri) razli~ni polo`bi i na toj na~in ednozna~no da obele`at slogovi na edna soglaska so ~etiri samoglaski. Vo analiziraniot tekst se
identifikuvani 6 ({est znaci), i toa:

Na ovoj na~in, so 6 razli~ni znaci mo`at ednozna~no da se zapi{at 6 4 = 24 razli~ni slogovi od vidot soglaska-samoglaska.
1.1.4. Specifi~en slogoven znak
Posebno treba da ja obele`ime pojavata vo tekstot na eden
specifi~en znak koj go identifikuvame vo 4 formi, i toa:

Vo poslednata forma, kako dve kosi crti dobli`eni vo gorniot del, ovoj slogoven znak go sre}avame i den-denes vo pove}e slogovni pisma na aziskiot kontinent.
1.2. Znaci za izolirano pi{uvawe soglaski
Nekoi od soglaskite vo tekstot se sre}avaat zapi{ani izolirano, i toa vo slednava forma:

Kosata crta vo sostavot na osnovniot znak vo prvite dva i vo


posledniot slu~aj e upotrebena vo funkcija na viram, odnosno ja
eliminira samoglaskata od soodvetniot slog.
1.3. Znaci za izolirano pi{uvawe samoglaski
Pri pi{uvaweto se javuva potreba za zapi{uvawe na izolirana samoglaska. Za zapi{uvawe na izolirana samoglaska se upotrebuvaat znaci samo vo edna polo`ba. Vo tekstot se identifikuvani
slednive znaci {to reflektiraat da gi pretstavuvaat samoglaskite:

1.4. Piktografski znaci


Kako ostatok od nekoe postaro pismo, vo analiziraniot tekst
se pojavuvaat nekolku znaci koi ne se vklopuvaat vo slogovnata koncepcija. Toa, pred s, se odnesuva na mnogu ~esto pojavuvanite tri
vertikalni i tri kosi crti:
{to pretstavuva pojava koja ve}e e prou~uvana vo soodvetnata literatura od ova podra~je.
Ne tolku ~esto, se pojavuvaat u{te dva drugi znaka, koi isto
taka ne mo`at slogovno da se pojasnat, i toa:
Prviot znak pretstavuva stilizirana forma na egipetskiot
bog na mrtvite, a vtoriot stilizirana forma na zmija.
1.5. Pi{uvawe na ligaturi
Voo~livo e deka vo tekstot pokraj pi{uvaweto na slogovnite
znaci eden do drug se pojavuva i nivno pi{uvawe eden nad drug i eden
vrz drug, kako na primer:

Prilozi, Odd. mat. teh. nauki, XXVI, 2 (2005), s. 7122

64

T. Bo{evski, A. Tentov

Ovie formi gi narekuvame ligaturi i smetame deka otslikuvaat specifi~na karakteristika na jazikot koj se izrazuva preku
pismoto.
Naj~esto vo ligaturite u~estvuvaat 2 do 3 znaka. So ligatura
po pravilo se zapi{uva po~etok na zbor, dodeka krajot na zborot ~ij
po~etok e zapi{an vo vid na ligatura se realizira so eden, a poretko so 2 do 3 sloga (znaci).

2. OZVU^UVAWE NA IDENTIFIKUVANITE ZNACI


Mnogu pove}e od glasovnite, slogovnite pisma gi nosat vo sebe karakteristikite na jazikot koj{to treba da go zapi{uvaat.
Ako e osnovna pretpostavka deka analiziraniot tekst e napi{an na jazikot na anti~kite Makedonci, opredeluvaweto na osnovnite glasovni karakteristiki na toj jazik }e go realizirame preku
glasovnite osobenosti na jazicite na domorodnoto naselenie od arealot na Balkanot, kako negova mati~na teritorija. ]e pretpostavime deka glasovnite vrednosti na samoglaskite i soglaskite kako najnepodlo`ni na promeni ostanale so ista zvu~nost do dene{en den.
2.1. Ozvu~uvawe na slogovnite znaci
Ozvu~uvaweto na identifikuvanite slogovni znaci mo`e da se
realizira so prepoznavawe vo tekstot na zborovi koi go zadr`ale svoeto zna~ewe do den-denes vo jazici ili dijalekti na jazici od arealot
na Balkanot ili po{iroko, od evropskiot areal. Se razbira, vo ovaa
faza analizata }e se zasnova vrz sporedba pome|u zborovi od tekstot
na kamenot od Rozeta i arhaizmi vo dijalekti na aktuelniot makedonski jazik.
2.1.1. Ozvu~uvawe na asimetri~nite slogovni znaci
So pove}e od stotina zborovi od dene{niot makedonski jazik
ozvu~eni se site 12 asimetri~ni znaci so soodvetni soglaski, i toa:

Vo re~nikot na identifikuvani zborovi dadeni se 8 razli~ni


zborovi vo osnovna i superlativna forma, zapi{ani na ovoj na~in, a
koi do den-denes go imaat istoto zna~ewe.
3.2. Pi{uvawe na mno`ina kaj imenkite
Vo pove}e slovenski jazici, a posebno vo makedonskiot jazik,
mno`inata kaj imenkite i kaj pridavkite naj~esto se pravi so dodavawe na i na krajot na imenkata vo ednina. Vo analiziraniot tekst,
isto taka, identifikuvavme formirawe na mno`ina na ovoj na~in,
kako na primer:

Gospodar

Gospodari

Sve{tenik

Sve{tenici

Vo re~nikot na identifikuvani zborovi dadeni se 5 zborovi


vo ednina i mno`ina formirani na ovoj na~in koi do den-denes go
zadr`ale svoeto zna~ewe.
Mnogu e zna~ajno da se napomne deka vo [3] se naveduva deka pri
formirawe na mno`ina kaj imenkite na krajot na zborot se dodava vertikalna crta. Avtorot, za razlika od na{ite istra`uvawa i soznanija,
znakot za vertikalna crta go tretira samo kako oznaka za mno`ina.
Ova e sosema razbirlivo ako se znae deka spored [3] demotskoto pismo
ne e mo`no da se ~ita znak po znak (soglasno na{ite soznanija toa odgovara na ~itawe/pi{uvawe slog po slog), tuku se ~ita zbor po zbor.
3.3. Neopredelena i opredelena forma kaj imenkite
Pri ~itaweto na analiziraniot tekst identifikuvavme imenki vo neopredelena i vo opredelena forma, i toa:

Od dosega{nite analizi, mo`eme da konstatirame deka osven
vo ovie slu~ai, mnogu retko sme gi identifikuvale drugite pade`ni
formi.
4. SPOMNUVAWE NA IMETO NA CAROT (FARAONOT)
Spomnuvaweto na imeto na carot vo analiziraniot tekst e
naj~esto sre}avanata kompozicija na zborovi. Spored soznanijata od
na{ite istra`uvawa i soglasno so predlo`enoto ozvu~uvawe na znacite, obra}aweto kon vladetelot e mnogu blisko do dene{niot na~in na obra}awe kon sovremenite vladeteli.

zna~i onoj komu mu se voshituvaat. Od ova pove}e od jasno
proizleguva to~nosta na predlo`eniot na~in na ~itawe i na ozvu~uvawe.
Formiraweto na li~ni imiwa na ovoj na~in so koristeweto
na imenkata BOGA se zadr`alo vo makedonskiot jazik do den-denes.
^esti se imiwata kako na primer: Bogomil, Bogoqub, Bogdan, Bogovid, Bo`idar, Bo`ana i drugi.
4.3. Prezimeto na carot (faraonot)
Prezimeto na carot, odnosno imeto na dinastijata go prepoznavame vo izrazite:

prezimeto [emovi, koe spored na{ite soznanija, bi trebalo da soodvetstvuva na sovremenoto prezime Popovi.

8. DE[IFRIRAWE NA POSLEDNIOT RED OD TEKSTOT


Spored anti~ko-gr~kiot tekst, vo posledniot red faraonot
nareduva (i toa po ovoj red) dekretot da se napi{e na 3 pisma i da se
postavi vo svetili{ta od prv, vtor i tret rang vo blizina na statuata
na faraonot, iako tokmu ovde kamenot e otkr{en (nedostasuva par~e).
Vo analiziraniot tekst, naredbata na faraonot ja identifikuvame vo poinakov redosled, i toa prvo vo koi tri klasi svetili{ta na bogovi, vo koi tri oblasti na zemjata da se postavi kamena
stela i, na krajot, na koi pisma na jazikot na tri sloevi na naselenieto da bide napi{an.
Svojata `elba faraonot ja podelil na dve naredbi koi gi zapo~nuva so zborot javi, vo originalna forma zapi{an so

Vo odnos na gr~kiot tekst, ovde se sre}avame so zna~itelno


poprecizni informacii koi posredno potvrduvaat za primarnosta
na ovoj tekst vo odnos na drugite dva.
8.2. Analiza na vtorata naredba
Vtorata naredba zapo~nuva so izrazot:

Na primerot na analizata na sodr`inata na posledniot red
od dekretot, koj so golema verojatnost ja ima istata sodr`ina vo

mo`e da se prifati deka tie tekstovi se sosema identi~ni, osobeno
poradi razli~nosta na izgovorot na imiwata na narodite, bogovite

Ovaa pretpostavka pretstavuva nova nasoka vo izu~uvaweto na demotskoto pismo i na slogovnite pisma od toj period, za ozvu~uvawe

Summary
TRACING THE SCRIPT AND THE LANGUAGE
OF THE ANCIENT MACEDONIANS
This study presents the results of research realized within the project Deciphering the
Middle Text of the Rosetta Stone.
It is concluded that a syllabic script of the consonant-vowel type was used for the middle text of the Rosetta Stone. Symbols for 25 consonants were identified. By using the procedure
of mirroring and rotating in the writing surface (plane), a monosemic (unambiguous) method was
determined for connecting the symbol of consonant with 4 or 8 vowels. Although rarely used, the
symbols for writing isolated vowels and some consonants were identified. In the analyzed text,
the syllabic signs were not only written next to each other, but also they were often written one
above the other or one over the other in the form of what are known as ligatures. A small number
of pictographic symbols were also identified.
The wiring for sound of the identified syllabic signs, isolated consonants or vowels and
ligatures was achieved by using archaisms from the dialects of the contemporary Macedonian
language. In the text, which was written from right to left, without a space between the words and
without separation of sentences in an infinite series, more than 160 words were identified which
have keept their meaning in some dialects of the contemporary Macedonian language. A certain
number of grammatical rules were also identified which are discerned in the contemporary Macedonian language, such as the formation of superlative with the adjectives with the prefix naj_

[nai] (equivalent to English the _est/ the most ); the plural of nouns by adding i [i]
(equivalent to English _s); the occurrence of definite and indefinite form of nouns, as well as the
frequent use of the preposition na [na] (equivalent to English prepositions on, at). With these
identified syllables and their wiring for sound and the definite rules for writing, a monosemic
(unambiguous) methodology was generated in order to make out certain words and to read what
was written.
The way of addressing the pharaoh with all epithets, first name, last name and nickname, was completely deciphered as one of most frequently used combination of words. The
names of his parents and ancestors are also interesting. It is characteristic that in all cases the
personal names are descriptive and when they are being translated into another language (ancient
Greek) they lose their original pronunciation but retain their meaning.
The name of the supreme god Dze the god of the summers (Ye bog na letata)
was identified, who in the text bears the same epithet as the pharaoh. For some gods, the ancient
Egyptian name is written (inscribed) beside the ancient Macedonian name, and in comparison
with the third text we discerned the ancient Greek name. For the first time, for one god we have
got the three names in ancient Egyptian, Macedonian and Greek in case of the god Ananetsa, the
god Lee and god Osiris respectively. It is characteristic that almost all names of the ancient Macedonian gods are monosyllabic.
By deciphering the content of the last row from the analyzed text, we concluded that
the pharaoh had ordered the decree to be written in the letters (languages) of the three entities of
that time Egyptian society, especially of the high priests, in the text of the alive masters and of
the Danai. In that time, the ancient Macedonians ruled Egypt and they were the alive masters.
The results of deciphering the middle text of the Rosetta Stone point to the fact that
there are many details which cannot be found in the text written (inscribed) in the ancient Greek
alphabet. This conclusion proves the scholarly awareness from the time of Thomas Young (1822)
that the middle text was the original. On the basis of our research we can make this knowledge
more precise with the conclusion that the pharaohs decree from the middle text of the Rosetta
Stone in the original is written (inscribed) in the language of the ancient Macedonians with script
of the alive masters, i.e. with the official script and language of the state that had been ruled by
them for more than a century.

AUF DEM SPUREN DEN SCHRIFT UND DER SPRACHE
DER ANTISCHEN MAKEDONIER
In der Bemhung sind die Resultate presentiert, die for der Forschung realisiert worden
ist, innerhalb dieses Projektes Deschifrierung des mittleren Textes von der Stein der Roseta.
Es hat sich besttigt, dass der mittlere Text von Roseta gebraucht wurde, wie auch die
silbige Schrift vom Typ Konsonant Vokal. Identifiziert sind Simbole fuer 25 Konsonanten. In
Bentzung der Methode von Kopieren und Drehung (Rotation), im Bereich der Schreibung, demmit
wurde eindeutig ausgewhlt die Art der Verbindung des Symbols fr Konsonante mit 4 oder 8 Vokale. Jedoch nicht oft gebraucht wurden auch Symbole fr Schreibung von isolierte Vokale und Konsonante identifiziert. Im analysierten Text, neben der Schreibung von silbige Zeichen nebeneinannder
gestellt, wurden hufig die silbigen Zeichen ein aufeinannder gestellt, und zwar in Form von
Ligaturen. Jedoch in eine kleine zahl identifiziert worden auch ein Paar piktografische Simbole.
Die Ausschreibung von identifizierte silbige Zeichen, einsame Konsonante und Ligaturen wurden realisiert durch Gebrauch von Archaismen von Dialekte der gegenwrtigen
mazedonischen Sprache.

Im analysierten Text, der von Rechts nach Links geschrieben ist, ohne einer Zwischendistanz der Wrter und Trennung der Stze, in einer ununterbrochenen Reihe, wurde mehr als
160 Wrter identifiziert, die ihre Bedeutung beinhaltet haben bei einige Dialekte der gegenwrtigen mazedonoschen Sprache. Durch die Analyse identifiziert wurden auch ein Paar gramatische
Regeln, die bei der heutigen mazedonischen Sprache bekannt sind, wie zum Beispiel die
Grndung des superlatives bei Adjektiven mit dem Prefix ber als Vorsilbe der superlativen
Form, Plural bei den Substantiven mit der Zufgung und, im Gebrauch von definierte und undefinierte Formen bei den Substantiven und der ftere Gebrauch von der Prposition zu. Mit so
identifizierten silbige Zeichen, deren Aussprache und definierte Schreibung, wurde eine eindeutige
Methode gegrndet, zur identifiezierung der bestimmten Wrter und des lesens des geschriebenen.
Die meist gebrauchte Variante (Kombination) von Wrter, wurde im Ganzen die Art
der Wendung der Menschen gegenber des Pharaons gegeben, mit allen Epiteten, Vorname,
Nachname und Spitzname. Interresant sind auch die Namen deren Eltern und deren Vorfahren.
Charackteristisch ist, dass in allen Fllen die eigenen Namen dargestellt sind, und bei der bersetzung in anderer Sprache (antisch Giechisch) verschwindet der originale Aussdruch, aber die
Bedeutung bleibt beinhaltet.
Identifiziert wurde der Name des Hauptgottes (im original mazedonischer Sprache
geschrieben als SE, auf Deutsch deskribiert als ZCHE) und das Bedeutet der Gott des
Sommers, der im Text die gleiche Epitht als der Pharaon hat. Fr einige Gtter, neben dem
antisch- mazedonischen Namens, wurde auch der antisch-egyptischen Name geschrieben, und im
Vergleich mit dem dritten Text des Steins wird auch der antisch-griechische Name identifiziert.
Zum ersten Mal fr einen selben Gott haben wir alle drei Namen, des antisch-egyptische, antisch-mazedonischen und antisch-griechischen, im Falle des Gottes Ananeza, dann der
Gott Li und der Gott Osiries respektiv. Karakterisch ist, das alle Namen der antisch
mazedonischen Gtter einsilbig sind.
Mit der Deschifrierung des Inhaltes der letzten Reihe des analysierten Textes, hat sich
herrausgestellt, dass der Pharaon befehlt, dass das Dekret in den Briefen gegeben wird (geschrieben) in Entiteten der damaligen egyptischen Gesellschaft, und zwar: die Hauptpriester, die lebenden Herren und den Danaischen. In der Zeit, in Egypten herrschen die antischen Makedonier,
und eben diese versteht der Pharaon unter dem Namen lebende Herren.
Die Resultate der Deschifrierung des mittleren Textes von Stein Roseta, zeigen an
mehrere Datails, die im Text des antisch-griechischen Text nicht vorhanden sind (zu sehen sind).
Diese Feststellung besttigt die Schlussfolgerung der Forschung von der Zeit des Thomas Jang
(1822), dass der mittlere Text ein Original ist. Aufgrund unserere Forschung, knnte diese
Schlussfolderung prezisiert warden, mit der Feststellung, dass das Dekret des Pharaons im mittleren Text des Steins von Roseta, wurde im Original in der Sprache der antischen Makedonier
geschrieben, und zwar im Schrift der lebenden Herren, bzw. Mit der offiziellen Schrift und
Sprache des Landes, die sie mehr als 100 Jahren geleitet haben.
