 Merlini (6.2)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The language for symbolic images which "fuses, is fused and is confused" with the linear signs typical of writing reveals, according to Gimbutas, the aspects and attributes of the Great Goddess (the snake, the spiral, V and M motives) or expresses the religious ideas of "Old Europe" (the meander and the swastika).
The lack of signs evoking naturalistic forms also bears witness to their high degree of evolution, notwithstanding the fact that they anticipated other known systems of writing by at least two millennia.
The proto-European script seems to possess a great tendency for abstract signs, perhaps the result of a "geometric revolution" that occurred in ancient times.
