Ancient Stone
|
|
|
|
== Description ==
|
|
On my way to Munster, during my trip to Ireland, I found some weird markings on a stone laying on the side of the road. Grooves in the stone seemed to try to tell me a message. Half an hour of decoding later, and I did not manage to figure out any meaning. As I was very intrigued by this stone, I made note of the markings on a piece of paper I had brought along. Might you help me decipher the ancient knowledge given by the markings?

|
This markings are an ancient writing system called Ogham.
|
|
The word "Ogham" was spelled out by the first letter of each sentence of the description. Munster and Ireland were also hints, since the system originated from there.
|
|
The following image can be used to decode the message.
