Book Description
Excerpt from The Manuscript Troano The determination of this point must be one important step toward ascertaining the object and contents of the work. Another prominent feature of the manuscript is the great num ber of numerals or numeral characters - short straight lines and dots - found on every plate. These, together with the columns of day characters, constitute fully one half the written portion of the work; hence if we can ascertain the method in which, and the object for which, these were used, sufficient will have been learned 'to indicate, beyond doubt, the character of the work, and will render the task of deciphering the hieroglyphs much easier than to work at them blindly. Assuming that the reader is familiar with What has already been written upon this subject, I will at once proceed with what I believe to be the correct explanation of the use of these two classes of characters in this manuscript, and which I believe is the key that will ultimately unlock its mysteries.
