The new study, published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society A, instead concludes that the engravings represent the long lost language of the Picts, a confederation of Celtic tribes that lived in modern-day eastern and northern Scotland.
I was reading the above article on Esoteric Source. They are a long way from knowing what the language on the stones conveys, and always will be without some kind of rosetta stone discovery. I wonder if the cup marked stone was deliberately used now, and in what context - more things I'll probably never know, dammit.
