Hi, someone posted this on another group, and I want to know what you
all think:

"Incidentally see:
http://home.earthlink.net/~ekerilaz/princess.html
Early Germanic Runes in Central Asia
On the web-site below there is a picture of a runic inscription from
Kazakstan from a Scythian grave and dating from around 400-300 BCE .
It is
apparently in a Germanic tongue.
The site itself is a bit "New-Worldish" but the source quoted for the
inscription is Renate Rolle who is a respected scholar."
