Epigraphic Research

As an ongoing research endeavor Asiatic Echoes is continually making new discoveries. To date, several hundred North American petroglyphs and pictographs have been identified as having forms matching those of a known ancient Chinese written symbol. However, the line strokes comprising all of these rock writings conform with those of only 97 known ancient Chinese script characters.Click here to view an alphabetical index of these 97 representative scripts.

Whenever an entirely new form is observed, and subsequently confirmed by independent expert analysis as a readable Chinese script, it will be added to the study's statistical database and the index will be updated.
