ETRUSCAN WRITING DESCRIPTION (No. 1)
By POLAT KAYA
Below is an Etruscan Mirror: From a book by Giuseppe Foscarini, “La Lingua degli Etruschi”, Item 12, p. 32-33.
This mirror has two Etruscan inscriptions as names of a woman and a boy as shown
above. I first trancribe and describe the boy’s name:
a) HERAKELI which
identifies first with the name HERAKLEUS which
I have already explained that this supposedly Greek name is actually a madeup
name using the Turkish expression “ER
AKLI US” meaning “man’s
mind wisdom”. This
supposedly “Greek” name personifies “the
mind, knowledge and wisdom” of man as a mythological personality, but it
does it using Turkish as source. http://www.polatkaya.net/Heracles_Part-1.html
But when we read the Etruscan writing HERAKELI in
the form “HER-AKELI”, we find
that it is nothing but the Turkish expression “ER
AKILI” meaning “man’s
mind, man’s wisdom, man’s knowledge”. Thus,
the Etruscan word HERAKELI is 100 % Turkish and it prooves that the Etruscan
language was TURKISH! Clearly, when these Turkish words are concatinated with
each other and with a letter H added to its front, then its Turkishness cannot
be recognized readily.
b) The second name for woman is
given as MLAKUOK. In
the Etruscan text, the last letter is shown as an “arrow” which has the name
“OK” in Turkish. Therefore, I trancribed this symbol as “OK”. The
woman in the picture is a personification of either the mother of the boy or is
his teacher. We must acknowledge that mothers are the most important and the
influential teachers in everyones life. Boys’ minds (and that of girls’ too) are
shaped first and foremost by their mothers and then their teachers. In
view of this bacground explanation, when the transcribed Etruscan text MLAKUoK is
read as “MLAK-OKU” or “OKU-MLAK”,
we find that it is the Turkish expression “OKU
MELEK” meaning “the
angel of teaching” who is “mother” and
also a woman teacher in
schools.
Turkish word OKU is
the root of the verb “OKUMAK” meaning “to
learn to read and to write, to go to school, to learn knowledge”. Turkish OKUL means “school” and
the
We must also recal that in the supposedly Greek mythology, Herakles had a mother
named ALCMENA. I had showed that the
name ALCMENA in
one meaning was Turkish
expression "MEN
AKIL" meaning "I
am mind", "I am wisdom". http://www.polatkaya.net/Heracles_Part-1.html . This
makes the mythological name ALCMENA,
that is, the mother of Heracles, a personification of the "human
mind and wisdom". Turkish word MEN means
"I, I am" and AKIL means "wisdom,
knowledge and mind". Thus, this makes the mythological name ALCMENA a
personification of the "human
mind and wisdom".
Additionally, when the name ALCMENA is
rearranged as “MELC-
In addition to above explanations, there is one more aspect to this picture on
the Etruscan mirror. The name HERAKELI in the form of “AKEL-HERI”,
we find that it is Turkish expression “AKIL
ERI” meaning “man
of wisdom, knowledge, experience”. That
is why, the mytological hero so-called “Herakleus”, “Hercules” was able to
overcome all of those difficult tasks that he was asked to do. The
names “Herakleus”, “Hercules” are another conceptual form of the
Turkish-Sumerian word “BILGAMESH” or “AKILGAMISH” which has been usurped as
“GILGAMESH” all of which personify “the human mind” which is in “human head”,
that is, “TEPE” in Turkish.
***
The name “AKIL ERI”, that is, the Etruscan “HERAKELI”, has also been an old folkloric hero in Turkish culture and particularly in the Turkish stories that we all hear in our childhood as “KEL OGLAN and his MOTHER”. Turkish “KEL OGLAN” is also a character that is a “smart boy” in the tall tale stories and he not only overcomes difficult tasks he confronts, but at the end he also gets to marry the beautiful prencesses because of his accomplishments in the stories. So, we as young boys were listening to these stories with full attention and with open eyes!
***
Thus, this Etruscan mirror has also transferred to us the Turkish “KEL OGLAN and
HIS MOTHER” from a time of at least some 4000 years ago. Since, “KEL OGLAN” is
also Etruscan “HERAKELI” (ER AKILI), that is, another expression in Turkish
similar to the concept of BILGAMESH, then, that date can be taken back to some
6000 years ago!
