Since it appear that I am not relation to Gorgo and Leonidas, maybe I am relation to Plataea and Leonidas? This is τρελός. It is not that i do not believe. I believe. I do not know where this place my family history. He is named Kronos. I have been Kronos since I was baby. A how you say "nick name." I was born of late time. My momma, she say I am 12 month baby. LOL

The Butterflies are very good to me. They are good to all of us here. We laugh. We cry. We drink the ouzo or the wine. We have γιορτή. We play, dance and sing music every day. Yet, I am sad. Very, very sad. I think I will be happy soon, once I know who my peoples really are. Bobbie say that I must wait to see what DNA tests say. Maybe, I am not so sad. Maybe I am afraid?

Bobbie say she is working on something big. I can not say. She think maybe we find another of the women. Will this woman too be my family? Maybe she is my family, not anyone we know at this times. ARGGGGHHHH!!!!!

I must go to the bath and think no more.

Looks like we have two more pieces to go, and then the fun really starts.... Confused

 		Email From Bobbie
Sorry for the double post, but I just got an email from Bobbie. Here's the important part:

Quote:
Do you happen to know of a James Judd/jhjudd? I had sent a piece or two to him, however he's emailed me asking if I know of a "site" where he can share his shards... I am confused, however I hope that you know of this person and can contact them. Please advise?


I emailed her back and told her that she could give him my email address and I would try to arrange something....which would be to direct him here, although I wouldn't say that to her IG. Hopefully he will have the last couple of pieces that we lack.

It is a piece of ancient pottery. Some of my friends have also received pieces and have figured out they fit together. Yours is the lower right corner of a pitcher.

I wonder if it tells a story. The writing is not greek. In fact, it doesn't look like any language I've seen before.
There are two more pieces I think. So after we find the others we can try to figure out the message and I'll let you know.

Thank you so much konamouse. I am so happy that you know what this is. A story in a language that is unkown. This is getting very intriguing... Yes, please keep me updated. Smile

 		Being the good little archaeologist I am, I realize we are rarely so lucky as to find ALL shards of a given pot. In light of this I began a rudimentary analysis of the figures.

Edit: Gah! Looks like we are still missing one important piece...

 		Because I Love Double Posting
*looks around to see if Pancito is watching*
I just got another email from Bobbie regarding the last shard...which she sent as an attachment:

Quote:
This is excellent news Jacks, and I thank you for following up with him. Ah... I believe that I there may be an issue of who exactly are 'associates' of yours and who contacted me from people that may have been in contact with Aga over the past months? Some of the emails that Fee and I recieved were rather strange, but we started assuming that everyone that was offering help was connected to you and your associates.

See the attached - I sent this to someone by the name of Absynth, who's email goes to Voldowart, and who had mentioned that he was also an associate with Wolfhawk, I believe... I can't tell who is in colusion with who any more. How do you all keep this straight? LOL

 		No one is in collusion with me that I am aware of! lol

I've only exchanged a few emails with Fee which I posted earlier in the thread. I'm working on the newest pieces now and will have the completed pot up soon.

And here it is:

 		You are awesome!! Brownie Stroopwafel Worshippy

I guess the fun starts now trying to decipher this thing...

Late Edit: Just got another email from Bobbie. I think she is trying to point us in the right direction to decipher the text on the pottery:

Quote:
hi Jacks... I don't know if this helps or not, but as I mentioned in the journal update the person who brought this to the EoS was a member of the order. They do know he was in Iran/"Persia" when he found the pot and the writing is his own. (Don't get me started on this defacing of artifacts!!!!)

I was able to get one other piece of information on this man, which may or may not help you (it certainly hasn't helped us, and maybe that's because we're too close to the topic and too stuck on Plataea and Kronos 479/78 BC....) this man was a magician/witch/whatever before he joined the order around 1930. He was not Greek by birth. (Obviously the "no blood guilt" rule was out the window for the EoS by then.) He was Italian and an Anglophile, and they say he had many magical ways that were foreign to them when he joined the order. Some Celtic, some from other European magical systems. It seems they just never incorporated his knowledge into their own practices and rituals, probably because he doesn't seem to have been with them long. He did share their reverence for Plataea and Salamis and Kronos, and gave this to them to help them with their histories on these women, just before he died.

It would have been helpful if he would have left a key to unlock it's meaning, but they swear he didn't...

Thanks so much! At least you know who the "associates" are. Smile

 		GOT IT!!!!
I have the translation all figured out!
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

It was written using Pictish swirl script, used by the Pecti-Wita magical tradition.
