Hungarian reading of the stone age texts of Geneviève von Petzinger
Introduction
In this paper I publish two stone age hieroglyphic texts of Geneviève von Petzinger adding some parallel texts.
Geneviève von Petzinger made fruitful research works in world grottos. Following this we arrived at similar and complementary results: she has established an opinion on the African origin of the signs based on the similarity in the grottos of various continents. I have arrived with the help of probability computation carried out with Nemetz Tibor at my desk that the sign system has a stone age origin and in the Eden territory near Ararat Mountain a more developed sign system already existed. Both research works brought light to the common origin of the stone age world. The simpler sign system stems from Africa, while the more developed one stems from Middle East. Thanks to this finding we could make a twinkling of an eye on the formation of writing, and on the first steps of the development of the use of the sign system.
The method used
Following Geneviève von Petzinger this sign system is identical in all continents because it was born in Africa and came out from it. Indeed, this could happen. Later on this African originated sign system further developed and became similar to the Sicul writing that is known today. Geneviève von Petzinger thinks that the meaning of the stone age signs has been already forgotten. However, more than half of the signs found by her are Hungarian identical and the knowledge of the Hungarian signs helps the understanding of the stone age texts. Based on the probability computation with the help of Nemetz Tibor we can say that the similarity of the signs is due to the genetic relationship between the signs.
The recognition of the relationship between the sign systems brings theoretical arguments, while the knowledge of the Sicul writing brings practical possibility on the reading of the stone age texts. The research work carried out has shown that the readings form a logical system, i.e. we have understood the stone age texts.
In the 90 years we have reconstructed the acrophony of Sicul letters and we have succeeded in defining some 40 original word signs of hieroglyphs (old religious word signs). For the reconstruction we have used the sound value of the Sicul signs, the meaning of similar signs in word signs writings, their sound forms and their picture contents, as well as their language and old religious knowledges.
The results of this work were published in Magyar hieroglif irás (Hungarian hieroglyph writing) in 2017. In the typical hieroglyphic texts they were not using more than 40-50 word signs. Indeed, their purpose was only to fix a few old religious requests and did not want to write a novel, a tax declaration or a love letter. The readings of the reconstructed word signs texts testify a unique heritage of texts, forming a self-sustained semantic system.
We could approach better the meaning of hieroglyphic texts, but less their sound forms. In order to control the sound form, we have less possibilities. For this the research in the Sumerian and Chinese writings as well as in the sign system of American Indians could give some help and indeed it gave some help.
Two stone age texts of Geneviève von Petzinger
The two stone age writing documents shown below were published by Geneviève von Petzinger, she added that her purpose was to solve the meaning of the stone age signs. I would like to contribute to this by reading two texts and by showing further already read texts. This reading was carried out with the help of Hungarian hieroglyph writing, that is still used nowadays, and which was a hieroglyphic antecedent (using word signs of old religious link) of the alphabetic Sicul writing. The reading resulted in Hungarian or relative to Hungarian sentences.
Figure 1. Spain, El Castillo, symmetrical stone age sentence painted on the wall of a grotto, the reading of the first half : Nagy ég ùr (Great heaven sir), below are found the corresponding Sicul « n », « g » letters and the popular szàr ùr (stalk sir) hieroglyph.
The sentence of Figure 1 is not entirely symmetrical, but we can feel the intention to create symmetry. The symmetrical sentences were used in various old age hieroglyphic writings (Egyptian, Scythian, Luwian) in order to underline the importance of the old religious meaning. Among the Scythian-Hun-Hungarian writing documents several symmetrical writings can be found.
The signs have perhaps different colors, because they could emphasize this way that the middle szàr ùr (stalk sir) sign is the name of God. This could reinforce the meaning of the read sentence.
The first half of the sentence of Figure 1 (from left to right) is composed of word signs nagy, ég és szàr (great, heaven and stalk sir). These give in today’s Hungarian the sentence Nagyságos égi úr (Majestical sir of heaven). The Hun-Avar-Hungarian hieroglyphic texts are composed of the repetition of old religious slogans. Among them can be found Nagy ég és Ég ura (Great heaven and sir of heaven) sentence. In the case of the hieroglyph nagy (great) we observe some formal change. The stone age sign represented originally the cupola of sky (Figure 1). They are also similar in the Scythian-Hun-Avar nagy (great) hieroglyph. However, the Sicul « n » letter has turned to vertical due to the runes technology, because in the runes only vertical and oblique lines can be made.
The second half of the symmetrical sentence is composed of two forms of ég (heaven) word sign, and on the reading we still have to think about. It would be too easy to suppose that in the last sign they put by chance the vertical line in the middle and this way the reading could become finalized and the problem is sold. Of course, this vertical line exists and the reading has to take into account this existing line.
Figure 2a. France. Les Eyzies-de-Tayac, 16 000 years old piece of set of teeth with signs, the reading is : Ragyogo Bél szàr, in today’s Hungarian : Ragyogo Bél ùr (Brilliant Bél sir)
Figure 2b. Szimmetrikus szkíta mondat Symmetrical Scythian sentence (Pazirik), the reading is : Nagyon nagy Lyuko (Very big Lyuko)
Figure 2c. A zamárdi avar szíjvég On the back side of the Avar belt of Zamàrdi, the reading from right to left : Ős, ragyogó ügy szár, nagyon nagy szár – in today’s Hungarian : Ősi, ragyogó folyó úr, nagyon nagy úr (Old, brilliant river sir, very great sir), in the left corner of the last line the three signs is the symmetrical representation of very great sir
In Figure 2a the text on the tooth could be also symmetrical. The X form sign represents the four saint rivers coming out from a source in Eden, the holly center of the world, the region of Ararat Mountain. The vertical straight lines represent the trunk of tree going as far as the sky, identical with God. If the text is symmetrical as shown with the three Sicul signs below Figure 2a, then the reading of the text (starting from the middle and going possibly in both directions) : Bél szár, in today’s Hungarian Bél úr (Sir Bél). Bél is the name of the Son of God. The Bél úr (Sir Bél) sentence can be repeatedly found among hieroglyphic texts, for example on the ring of Tiszabezdéd from the period of home-coming. The similar symmetrical sentence composition can be also found by the Scythians (Figure 2b). This is thus a possible reading.
Figure 2d. Tiszabezdéd Harangláb lelőhelyen előkerült honfoglalás kori gyűrű Ring founded in Tiszabezdéd Haranglàb from the home-coming period, on the ring Bél szàr – today’s Hungarian Bél ùr (Sir Bél), on the seal plate Dana « isten » (Dana god) signs can be read
Due to the long time difference and to the eventuality of the technique used to wright the text and also to the possible turning of the tooth we could count with further possible readings.
The two external signs of Figure 2a are not parallel and we have the right to consider them different. The oblique line in the Sicul writing is the letter « r », and in the Hungarian hieroglyphic writing the sign of ragyogj, ragyog, ragyogtàl (be brilliant, is brilliant, you were brilliant). In this case the reading is Ragyogo Bél szàr, in today’s Hungarian Ragyogo Bél ùr (Brilliant sir Bél). This is the most probable reading.
If the central sign of Figure 2a is not X, but a cross, the reading is Ragyogo Dana szàr, in today’s Hungarian Ragyogo Dana ùr (Brilliant sir Dana). Dana is the name of old God, that is still used today in Transylvania.
If both external signs are identical to the occasionally vertical ragyogo (brilliant) hieroglyph, then we may read an old religious liturgy text invoking God as : Ragyogj ! Bél. Ragyogtál (Be brilliant ! Bél. You were brilliant).
These three words are characterizing the three parts of the liturgy. In the first part people are evoking God, in the central part he appears and in the final part they say a good-bye. From other periods we know more parallelisms of similar God evoking liturgies. These parallelisms are composed of more signs and are more talkative, however these three parts can be easily recognized.
In Figure 2a the szár (stalk) sign linear form is in the readable sentence, the preparing person has used the vertical line, while in Figure 1 we can see the picturesque szár (stalk) sign. In the Hungarian usage both forms are still remaining.
The picturesque form is more solemn, while the linear form is for every day usage due to time- and place-lacking.
Further text parallelisms
The authenticity of the two texts shown by Geneviève von Petzinger is proved by the fact, that further stone age hieroglyphic texts can be read thanks to Hungarian hieroglyphic writing. These texts can be found in Figures 3 – 6. In order to find a better description of the readings, one should click on the links related to the paper.

Figure 6b. The signs on the mammoths are formally identical with the Sicul signs, however on the animals there are no letters representing a sound, but there are hieroglyphs (word signs of old religious meaning)
This usage of hieroglyphic sign has not disappeared but was spread in big
territories of Eurasia and America, and it was conserved in various periods. Changed,
further developed, in their details and scarcely understood in the every day popular,
dominant and religious sign use, and in the various writing- and sign-systems, for
example on painted eggs, in the Sicul writing and in the Hungarian armorial bearings.
I should show you many further examples, but this enumeration should go beyond
the purpose and the possibility of this paper.
