User:DancePowderer/Research Lab

For the moment, this is a work in progress, but it will be here where I will document all of my poneglyph research and findings. I may also use the talk page to ask for help. For now, I'm just setting up the page so I can put a tab for it on my user page.

A few raw data sources

 * Published stuff so far and other input.
 * Possible historical reference, probably nothing.
 * Initial findings.
 * First well thought out theory.
 * Source material.
 * Material from source material.
 * More material from source material.
 * Raws and Translations.

Analyses
Primary focus: Shandora Poneglyph.

Secondary focus: Ryugu Poneglyph

Text
The Shandora Poneglyph bears symbols akin to Masonic, Hebrew, and possibly Runic. Isolated symbols have also suggested some use of the Dancing Man code. As possibly confirmed with Roger's message, there might be two layers of coding, with English letters built into at least some of the symbols. Shandora L6, S9, suggests the use of Greek numerals. Recurring sub-symbols consistent in placement in main symbol.

Any final translation is at least two codes deep, the first two layers being hidden symbols and pigpen cipher. Given Roger'message, the text is read from right to left, top to bottom, but does not follow the style of a proper note or letter. The symbols for Roger's name are at the top. Unknown if this fits into overall writing structure.

Key Words:


 * Poseidon


 * Mermaid


 * Princess

Generalizations
Circumpuncts of any kind seem to denote a punctuation mark. The exact mark is determined by the position of the circumpunct to the rest of the symbol as well as neighboring dots. Symbols might translate directly to English. Or, and more likely, translate to Japanese syllables.
