Vinča script

The Vinča script is a cache of symbols that belonged to the Vinča culture of the central Balkans over 7000 years ago. The symbols have been a topic of debate amongst historians.

Tărtăria tablets

Three clay writing tablets were discovered in 1961 in the village of Tărtăria (Hungarian: Alsótatárlaka). This is about 30 km (19 mi) from Alba Iulia in Romania.[10] They were created around 5300 BC.[11] 

The Tărtăria tablets have symbols written in clay: the Vinča symbols. Some claim they are a yet undeciphered language. If this is true, they would be the earliest known form of writing.

Additional excavations

In 1908 similar symbols were found during excavations by Miloje Vasić (1869–1956) in Vinča. This is a suburb of Belgrade (Serbia), some 300 km from Turdaș. Later, more were found in another part of Belgrade.

Since 1875 over one hundred and fifty Vinča sites have been found in Serbia alone. Many, including Vinča itself, have not been fully excavated. The culture of the whole area is called the Vinča culture.

Although some of these symbols look exactly the same as some letters in Etruscan, Greek, and Aramaic,[12] they are generally regarded as an original, independent development.[13]
