apankrat Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Uhm. Sorry about the image size, let me see if I can edit it... ... and apparantly I cannot :-| Link to comment
John Hudson Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Most of this is Telugu script, but the bit in the lower left is Tamil. A few of the signs appear to be written backwards. My guess based on the layout is that this is some kind of magical or divinatory table. Link to comment
oobimichael Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 don't think it is Hebrew or Sanskrit, nor is it Celtic... so that rules out most formal religious contexts... and I don't think any of the Mayan cultures used symbols such as these. What seems to remain is more occult or fictional language symbols... btw, it's not masonic, either... Unless I miss something from history books (entirely possible), me thinks tis a prank... or extra terrestrial ? Link to comment
John Hudson Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 No, Michael, not extra terrestrial. I am 100% sure that it it Telugu, with a Tamil caption in the lower left. These are both scripts with which I am very familiar. Link to comment
apankrat Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Thank you, John, Michael. A commenter on Reddit also mentioned this being a yantra, which is close to a divinatory table. Link to comment
