\"Fuente-Magna\"<\/a>The<\/b> Fuente Magna Bowl <\/b>is a remarkable artefact sometimes called \u2018the Rosetta Stone of the Americas.\u2019 It was discovered accidentally near Lake Titicaca in Bolivia<\/a>. The bowl\u2019s claim to fame is that it has been inscribed with cuneiform writing, similar<\/i><\/b> to Sumerian.<\/p>\n

It is claimed that thermoluminescence dating has shown the object to be quite ancient and not a forgery. The same site(a)<\/sup> quotes at length a translation of the text by Clyde Winters<\/a>, but a German website(b)<\/sup> denounces his translation as nonsense, although it accepts that the Bowl as genuine. Another site(c)<\/sup> offers a selection of detailed images of the Bowl.<\/p>\n

Carl Feagans’ website(f)<\/sup>\u00a0is equally critical of Winters’ ‘translation’ and raises a number of questions regarding the authenticity of the artefact.<\/p>\n

April Holloway offered an overview of the controversy relating to the Fuente Magna Bowl on the Ancient Origins<\/em> website, concluding quite reasonably, that further objective linguistic research could bring the debate to a conclusion(g)<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Jim Allen<\/a> and his supporters have sought to link the Bowl with the theory of Atlantis in the Andes(d)<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

The bad archaeology <\/em>website has a reasonably balanced article(e)<\/sup> on the bowl which should be read.<\/p>\n

><\/span><\/strong>Michel Leygues has published(h)<\/sup> his study of the Fuente Magna Bowl in which he endeavours to demonstrate the relationship between Sumerian, Akkadian, Aymara and Quechua. Unfortunately, so far it is only available in French.<<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
