| Summary: | It is the purpose of this study to reopen the debate concerning the authenticity of the Phoenician inscriptions from Arslan Tash. It is here proposed that the interpretations of data from the objects themselves (physical, palaeographic, orthographic, grammatical, and iconographie) as indicating an origin in modern times are not compelling and that certain aspects of the problem have been misperceived or over-emphasized. It is not implausible to see these objects as authentic relics of their time and place (7th cent., upper-Euphrates region of eastern Syria). Proofs either different in nature or argued in a more convincing fashion than has been done heretofore must be adduced if the relegation to the status of modern forgeries is to be accepted without question. |
