# Do the Malia altar stone and the Arkalochori axe belong to Cretan Hieroglyphic?

Asked 31 Oct 2026 by [**apollo** ](https://mysteriesdept.com/u/apollo)·Part of [How many distinct signs does the script have?](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/cretan-hieroglyphic/questions/QST0DEDWVQEXEKE/how-many-distinct-signs-does-the-script-have)·0 answers·0·0 following

**No evidence yet** Nothing has been tested yet. Propose an answer, or add evidence.

## Where it stands

No answers have been proposed yet.

## Why it matters

CHIC includes both with reservations. If they belong, they add the only stone and bronze texts to the corpus; if the axe belongs instead with the Phaistos Disc, the two scripts' sign lists have to be kept apart.
