Cet article écrit conjointement avec notre estimé ami et collègue Eric Raimond est le fruit de tous nos travaux suivant le colloque sur les festivités du Proche-Orient ancien et en Méditerranée tenu en décembre 2022.
Nous avons donc travaillé en profondeur sur Sarpédon mais aussi d'autres aspects lyco-minoens. J'y ai par ailleurs donné une lecture étymologique de ces ethnonymes.

En parallèle à l'article important que nous avons écrit conjointement avec notre collègue et estimé ami Eric Raimond sur Sarpédon, nous nous sommes attelés à entreprendre une analyse lexicale sur l'origine de l'anthroponyme Sarpédon. En effet, il semble assez évident que sous cet anthroponyme, il se cache en fait un ethnonyme très ancien, présentant en quelque sorte la partition originale du territoire occidental de l'Anatolie. En approfondissant la piste des Termiloi, que nous nous proposons de voir comme *tarma-li-ya-wani , en réinterprétant la lecture de l'excellentissime Professeur René Lebrun sur tarma : pic, rocher, nous avons décidé de voir en Sarpédon comme une traduction authentique du mot tarma, sous une forme syncrétique anatolienne (sarra (haut, supérieur), peda (plaine) et d'y ajouter l'affixe inclusif wani, que nous retrouvons aisément dans d'autres ethnonymes de la région louvite.

This article aims to present new elements connected to a Maya stela kept in the Ethnographical Museum of Geneva. We show more clearly which glyphs are readable from this inscription and then present elements which could correlate this information and that of other Maya inscriptions and which hopefully will help later to identify the ruler depicted on this stela. We also propose a short analysis of the different contexts of scattering ritual, as we showed that this is the subject of the inscription. This stela is also a very important element for a better understanding of the latest page of history in the Petexbatun region at the Classic period.

Sign n° 42 in 1962 J. Eric S. Thompson's "Catalog of Maya Hieroglyphs" (classified as grapheme 1G8 in 2003/2009 Martha J. Macri's "New Catalog of Maya Hieroglyphs") was identified since more than one century ago as the distinctive sign of the glyph that designates what epigraphers call a pictun (a time unit of 8000 tun or counting years of 360 days, thus 2.880.000 days). Since a few decades, it is also known to be-in other cases than in this context of temporal count-a logograph which still awaits for a complete decipherment although it seems to have designated a natural phenomenon that was potentially dangerous and was the main root of the ancient name of the archaeological site of El Chorro (Peten, Guatemala). According to the authors' analysis, this sign could have been possibly read as TOK « vapor » and « evaporate », TOK 'AN(IL) « vapor flow » or (TOK) TAN « ash, powder, lime ».

This paper, entirely written by Professor Sergey Kullanda, one of the most important specialists on Scythians and Indo-European mythology, is a very interesting publication on the subject, in particular on the language of Scythians and how to analyse its particularities.
I am not the author of this paper but Pr. Kullanda kindly agreed to upload this material due to health problems and I am currently working on a French and English translation of this analysis.
If all goes fine, we will even then post later on a lexicon of certified Scythian words.

How to download Sir Arthur Evan’s Scripta Minoa, Volumes 1 & 2, (Linear B), in their entirety: Until recently, anyone searching for Scripta Minoa could download the files from Heidelberg University. But it is no longer possible to do so without the downloaded page being truncated at the top. To illustrate this, we try to download page 5 of Scripta Minoa, Vol. 1, here, the result above being what we actually see, the example in this case being, page 5, Preface. Note that we see only a window [1] to the entire page [2]. Consequently, if you try to download the rest of the page, Heidelberg University blocks the rest of that page [2], or any other page, rendering the Heidelberg University site useless to download Scripta Minoa, Volumes 1 & 2. The alternative route to download Scripta Minoa, Volumes 1 & 2. Instead, go to this post on our home site, Minoan Linear A, Linear B, Knossos & Mycenae and follow the explicit instructions to the letter to download Scripta Minoa, Volumes 1 & 2.

This first draft is the result of my own researches on Old Minoan kept on Linear A inscriptions.
We try to show evidence of three interesting Old Minoan words, the word ATA, clearly connected to the Hittite ATTA, a word *301-WA-JA (with the sign *301 which we propose to interpret as DO) but which of course requires more cross-researches and parallels and finally the word (J)A-DI-KI-TE-TE (meaning from the Dikte (Mount)) All the inscriptions we display show us a very interesting figure which we may analyse as an early Minoan form of the Cretan Zeus (qualified of A-TA-I *301-WA-JA A-DI-KI-TE-TE "Father Divine of Mount Dikte"). We are of course aware that we need more elements to completely conform all the implications of these first connections but we think that this is a very interesting field for a more indepth analysis of the early Minoan influence on Greek Mythology but also shwoing how Linear A can help us to isolate early Old Minoan cultures and the roots of Greek main gods, such as Zeus. We are looking forward comments and suggestions and we will of course modify the text of this draft as soon as we have other new elements to add. Thank you for your attention and I would like to thank my wife for her constant support! And thank you also to Richard Vallance for his research enthusiasm and our exchanges!

Linear A tablet HT 13 Haghia Triada successfully translated, with a substantial Mycenaean superstrate, wine stalks in (parallel) rows, crushed grapes and (a) sweeteners or (b) at Mount Ida: This is the first ever practically complete decipherment of Linear A tablet HT 13 (Haghia Triada) into what ostensibly appears to be largely Mycenaean-derived Greek (also known as the Mycenaean superstrate). Most of the words on this tablet are probably early Mycenaean or Mycenaean, with the caveat that their orthography and grammatical structure must have been adjusted to reflect the exigencies of the orthography and grammatical structure of the Minoan substrate language (Old Minoan, OM), the original Minoan language onto which they have been grafted. Allow me to explain how this phenomenon transpires.

The parallel between the French superstrate in English and the Mycenaean-derived superstrate in the Minoan language in Linear A:
To date, no linguists exploring this phenomenon have ever properly taken this fundamental criterion into consideration, namely, that any superstrate word introduced into a substrate language must conform to the standard orthographic and syntactical conventions of the substrate language, and that is why all of their efforts at decipherment of so-called “Greek-like” vocabulary have utterly failed. It must be understood from the outset that all researchers and decipherers of Linear A, including Gregory Nagi and Iurii Mosenkis, who have ever attempted to assign “Greek-like” lexicographical values to the decipherment of Linear A have made the fundamental and critical error of retrospectively extrapolating Greek words from much later classical Greek. This issue can be summarized in a nutshell: the so-called Greek-like words imported into the Minoan language can only be early (ca. 1600 BCE) or later (ca. 1500-1450 BCE) Mycenaean-derived and nothing else.

Allow me to explain how this phenomenon transpires.
If we compare the incursion of Mycenaean-derived words into Linear A with the much later enormous influx of Norman French and French vocabulary into English, we can glean a much clearer picture of what is happening here. It is our belief that the introduction of Mycenaean-derived vocabulary into the Minoan substrate language, Old Minoan (OM) from around 1600 to 1450 BCE parallels to some extent the massive influx of Norman French and French vocabulary into English after the conquest of England by William the Conqueror in 1066 AD.

This monograph, High Correlation Linear A-Linear B vocabulary, grammar and orthography in Linear A, by Richard Vallance Janke and Alexandre Solcà, is the largest study into the genesis of a Mycenaean-derived superstrate in Linear A ever undertaken by these authors. This is merely the draft paper, and as such it has yet to be approved for final publication by the editorial board of Les Éditions KONOSO Press. Since this is a draft paper only, we urgently request that any and all visitors to View Comments apprise us of any and all errors, whether orthographic, grammatical or syntactical. We have already proof-read this monograph at least 150 times, but before it can be approved or is approved for final publication by Les Éditions KONOSO Press, it must be absolutely free of errors of any kind. So if you spot any errors whatsoever, please let us know at once. We of course welcome any and all comments, observations and criticisms on this major new and entirely revolutionary study into the possible/probable existence of a Mycenaean-derived superstrate in Linear A. We realize that a great many critics will object to our hypothesis, some of them vociferously. But all we ask is that you keep an open mind, whoever you may be, with our thanks in advance.

Minoan Linear A tablets appear to be classed in two primary areas of interest (a) agriculture, and more specifically, crops and grains and (b) religious and sacerdotal. It is to the former that we turn our attention in this study. Focusing on certain Linear A tablets which deal primarily or almost exclusively with grains, we find that these three tablets yield the most promising results, Haghia Triada tablets HT 86 & 95 and Zakros tablet ZA 20. While HT 86 and HT 95 are intact, ZA 20 is not. Other Linear A tablets from Haghia Triada also contribute to our findings.
Is it possible to envision an intact version of the original ZA 20 tablet from Zakros? We believe so, and with that firmly in mind we have attempted the first ever restoration of the top of ZA 20, resulting in what amounts to a plausible intact version, however hypothetical, of the original.

This paper aims to present useful evidence on early geography of rivers and lakes around the Colchis but also to pay attention to epigraphical and lexical clues contained in toponyms of those specific water places around the Black Sea. We display evidence of their role and description in early Assyrian-Urartu kingdoms but also with Scythians. Finally, we also show very useful and less known passages of Greek geographers included Strabo.

Minoan Larnax: Contextualisation in Bronze Age Levantine and Egypto-Aegean cultures
On Minoan larnax, so much remains to be searched, especially on the cultual and iconographical relationships between ancient Minoan deities and some specific rituals carefully attached to some important animals or personifications of ancient Proto-Hellenic and Anatolian gods or goddesses.
Therefore, we must check all elements which can bring us more comprehensive view on how Minoan brought their gifts to those in the underworld and see how larnax can inform us on the
appearance of certain deities and other aspects of Minoan religion.
The main purpose of our study will be to contextualise the larnax among other early Bronze Age cultures, especially in the Near East and Levantine regions. We will present during our presentation detailed examples of larnax iconography, possible connections with other early Egyptian and Cyprus decorations (seen on Keftiu delegations) and work on a comparative overview of larnax across different collections and places around Crete and see which patterns can be studied in detail.
Keywords: Minoan cults, larnax, iconography, Near Eastern funerary objects, sea, animals, afterlife rituals, Linear A, Aegean Bronze Age, Cyprus, ancient Egypt and Keftiu.

Cette première étude a eu pour objectif principal de pouvoir présenter les traces de certaines divinités d'origine anatolienne visibles dans l'épigraphie et la numismatique de la zone géographique de l'ancienne Mer Noire. Nous essayons d'en visualiser leurs spécificités. Nous procéderons à une étude encore plus détaillée ultérieurement. Nous désirons aussi mettre en valeur l'influence majeure de Jupiter Dolichenus, dont certains attributs cultuels proviennent très clairement de l'ancienne Anatolie.
Божества из Анатолии на берегах Черного моря Основная цель нашей короткой статьи-привлечь внимание исследователей к малоизвестному аспекту Черного моря: религиозные мосты между Анатолией и западной и северной частьями Черного моря.

La Colchide est une terre absolument fascinante autant par son héritage culturel que par l'ensemble des légendes les plus intéressantes et fascinantes de la zone interculturelle de l'ancienne Mer Noire depuis les temps les plus anciens comme Georges Dumézil s'est si bien appliqué à l'illustrer dans son magnifique ouvrage « Romans de Scythie et d'alentour » Comme toujours dans ces cas délicats où légendes se mêlent avec réalité, il peut se révéler complexe de pouvoir en faire la distinction.
C'est le but de cet exposé de présenter des pistes linguistiques et géographiques importantes pour réaliser des progrès significatifs sur la compréhension des interactions entre les anciens royaumes de Colchide et les cultures gréco-scythes.

Le but de cette courte étude est, d'une part, d'approfondir certains aspects des recherches menées par D. G. Messerschmidt lors de son expédition sibérienne, et d'apporter des études utiles sur les commentaires latins qu'il a faits sur des textes en ancien mongol et sibérien de l'Oural et aussi sur le Tibet.
Dans un deuxième temps, nous essaierons de pénétrer dans certains des éléments les moins connus de l'œuvre philologique du savant allemand et de son amitié scientifique, notamment avec Robert Erskine ou Robert Karlovich Areskin.
Enfin, nous sélectionnerons deux ou trois passages des notes et pensées latines de Messerschmidt et soulignerons l'importance de cette langue dans les découvertes scientifiques des cultures européennes et russes.
Целью данного небольшого исследования является, во-первых, углубление аспектов исследований, проведенных Д. Г. Мессершмидтом во время его сибирской экспедиции, и предоставление полезных исследований латинских комментариев, выполненных им к текстам на древнемонгольском и сибирском языках во Урале а также о Тибете.
На втором этапе мы попытаемся проникнуть в некоторые менее известные элементы филологической работы немецкого ученого и его научной дружбы, в частности, с Робертом Эрскином или Робертом Карловичом Арескином.
Наконец, мы выберем два-три отрывка из латинских заметок и мыслей Мессершмидта и подчеркнем значение этого языка в научных открытиях как европейской, так и русской культур.

The important reasons behind the Mongolian successful rise of its Empire between 1210 and 1227 has been already overviewed, analysed and exemplified in so many contributions that it is quite useless to pursue on this path.
However, it seems that one path has been left aside, the diplomatic channels opened through Tibet, Tangut territories and Armenian kingdoms, precisely between the years 1210 and 1219. Obviously, this new horizon of Western and Eastern exchange of letters, delegations and confidential missions kept on long after that period but we would wish to bring some light on this particular chain of events which led Mongolia almost towards European medieval borders..
Indeed, one of the main purposes of the Mongolian advance in the West was the relative weakness of the Holy Byzantine Empire in the Central Eastern regions.
Therefore, our paper explores the possibility of using early Armenian chronicles and French Oriental stories to explore important less known aspects of Genghis Khan's life and strategical choices.

This small paper presented during a session of the Oriental Department of the Russian Academy of sciences was a brief communication aiming to work on two aspects: Connections between Cretan Linear A with Anatolia and Indo-European languages, aspects of lexicology related to Linear A and a few aspects of Luwian names of ancient Cretan important cult places
Il est évident que notre futur article sur le sujet sera encore plus détaillé mais je pense que les thèmes exposés ci-dessous sauront vous montrer qu'il y a des éléments significatifs éclairant les relations entre les écritures égéo-crétoises et anatoliennes et ce que nous pouvons mettre en évidence sur la lexicologie crétoise de l'Âge du Bronze ou aussi «minoenne», nous reviendrons d'ailleurs sur le nom Minos un peu plus loin dans notre exposé.
Voici donc les points principaux.
A) aspects pictographiques de la documentation égéenne et courte analyse des passages d'écriture crétoise permettant de souligner des liens culturels entre l'Anatolie et la Crète de l'Âge du Bronze
B) lexicologie «minoenne»: petite étude des lexèmes transcrits en Linéaire A et comparaison avec des morphèmes connus en langues anatoliennes et indo-européennes
C) le disque de Phaïstos et les parallèles des sceaux de la période moyenne hittite, lien entre le pouvoir et le sacré
It is obvious that such a short paper cannot grasp all necessary elements related to these topics but there are some based and solid argumentations.
Thereby, by the end of February-March 2022, there will be an entire publication on the cult of the crocus in the Aegean world, a study of the entire lexemes in Linear B and A related to this plant and also its iconography in Aegean and ancient Egyptian world with the study of possible Anatolian connections.

Oceania and Pacific transregional trade and diplomatical relations are complex and very old indeed.
Already from the 11th century towards the 1500s, Oceanian isles, as well as Indo-Pacific sea channels have constantly seen many travelers and marineers, all looking for more richness and precious goods to draw back to Europe or inside the Polynesian Pacific maritime kingdoms.
Regarding Maori and other native Polynesian cultures, we can even suspect this goes far beyond, around sixth or fifth century before Christ. However, this paper will be focused on Oceania in a more contemporary period: our current 21st century.
Please bear in mind that this presentation is just a short review of our observations.
We can fairly say that Oceania's economy is strongly influenced by investors looking for new coral fields, strategical offshore access points and maritime routes, submarine and communication technologies.
In a second part, we will present some important new aspects on Oceania-Japan-Malaysia and US Pacific policies. Then, we will explain how native Australasian-Polynesian cultures aim for a better understanding and a mutual cultural respect towards their civilizations based on a multilateral (or bilateral) relationship between Australian and other Oceanic governments policy makers.
Finally, our paper will provide a short analysis of global trans-oceanic cultural politics:
Pacific multilateralism VS France maritime Oceanic agenda VS AUKUS plans (Oceanic Trans-Pacific Trade and Surveillance Policy).
