Context (Analysis)
On his visit, on 11th July 2016, Dr Christian Prager from the Univeritat Bonn explained the contents of the glyphs. The six glyphs include names and places not yet deciphered. They refer to a deep, mythological time, and include a name glyph that has not readable. The glyphs then refer to this time period ending at a place that can't yet be read and so the location in unknwn - it is only identified by the inclusion of a place toponym.

This section of cast is taken from, what Maudslay titled, Stela A west side (see Bib).
