Where it stands

Still possibleNone pieces of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

What it predicts

  • Independent epigraphers would reproduce the biblical names from the same images.
  • The sign values used would match those established from Phoenician and the Canaanite inscriptions.

What would rule it out

  • The readings require sign values or word divisions that other readers cannot reproduce from the images; this is the current state.
