Transcription problem - f68v3 and Rosettes foldout

[Mark Knowles]

I find it hard to come to any other conclusion than they are both T/O maps and if so the Africa-Europe-Asia interpretation I have given is by far and away the most probable one.

Well, this is not a conclusion. This was your assumption from the start.
To come to a conclusion you would need to have some evidence, and your argument across the several posts has been that the evidence is unclear and you need better scans.

From the available scans, one would have to conclude that the word starts don't actually match.

There is some superficial similarity in two of the three parts.

I was saying this is a conclusion on the basis of having looked at T/O maps etc. This is an assumption in this argument that I have been discussing here, but a conclusion of another argument. My point about better scans was to do with the reading of text not whether it is a T/O map.

Please do tell me how you conclude the beginnings of the word doesn't match. I have looked at them closely so I am very surprised that you are so sure.

Speaking of better scans... Stephen Bax was entrusted with spectral scans and said he was going to upload them.

He never did (to my knowledge). He said they were too big (which struck me as odd because he had his own domain and it's possible to simply put them in a directory and provide a link or to ask someone else to host them).


I'm not trying to point fingers, my concern is about whether they are still available and am just filling in the little I know about it... is there any way someone else could acquire the scans so we could see them? I was quite excited about it and then disappointed when they didn't appear.

If we could obtain such scans that would be wonderful. This is certainly not the only instance where I would appreciate better scans.
