Writing ¿Sumerian or onubense invention?

Until now, it was believed that the deed had come to the Iberian Peninsula with the Phoenicians, between 900 and 800 a. C. - after having been invented in Sumer 2500 years before. But a professor of Ancient History at the UNED, Ana Maria Vazquez Hoys, just discover that it might not be the case. After reviewing some useful, a polisher of arrows and a small urn-the Archaeological Museum of Huelva found in the tombs of an ancient megalithic culture onubense -4.000-3.000 a. C - found that two of them appeared in written signs.

Transcribed them and saw that some were similar to the letters N, W and N, and that sometimes the signs are repeated. Will be found written in the same period in other parts of Europe, so Vazquez Hoys thought maybe someone had brought these objects to Huelva. But no, the clay with which it was made locally. This supports the mention of Strabo that turdetanos, inhabitants of the south of the Iberian peninsula, had laws written in verse 6,000 years old.

It has not yet been deciphered the meaning of the script, but the discovery dispute that the writing came to Europe from the East. "We in Europe have found signs of writing prior to Sumer and in the caves of Altamira -18,000 a. C-there may be some that reveal the signature of the artist," says the researcher. With these findings, it would not be unreasonable to consider whether it was not the inhabitants of the south of the peninsula who were taught to write to the Phoenicians.
