The scientist added that around the inscription are pictures explaining it.
The famous scientist from Adygea Nurbiy Lovpache managed to decipher the mysterious symbols and inscriptions in the form of petroglyphs and hieroglyphs on the recently discovered Loo plate dating back to the Bronze Age. By some estimates, the result of this study could be a scientific sensation.
The estimated age of the Loo plate is 4 thousand years, at the turn of the 2nd and 3rd millennia BC.
The scientist found out that the symbols refer to the proto-writing of the most ancient civilization. Ancient writings may indicate that writing in the Caucasus originated much earlier than is commonly believed. Before that, the most ancient monument of writing was the Maikop plate, which is 3.2 thousand years old.
For two months, Nurbiy Lovpache deciphered each symbol and established their relationship, based on the Hittite hieroglyphic script. According to the scientist, the slab was stratified into two fragments, each of which has inscriptions of burial significance, the heavenly bodies, a ship, a fish, a deer, a lattice, a dolmen facade, etc. are clearly visible. After careful study, Nurbiy Lopache managed to decipher them and build a coherent text.
According to Lovpache, we are talking about the soul and the afterlife, which once again confirms the funeral function of the megaliths of the Western Caucasus.

The specialist also noted that the inscriptions are read from right to left or from top to bottom. Lovpache said that around the inscription are pictures explaining it.
One plot - a deer on a pole - is a royal burial symbol characterizing the ancient Maikop culture (only gobies are mainly present in it). Another plot is a seven-pointed star, also characteristic of the Adyghe folklore.
