Oldest Baybayin Scripts on Clay Jar


People who say that the markings are just art designs should take a second look!

Extant and extinct Baybayin scripts (that may have been the precursor of geographical forms such as Tagalog, Ilocano, Bisaya, Bohol, Bicol, Pampanga, Pangasinan, Hinunoo, Buhid, Bangon and Tagbanua) have been found very recently to predate the birth of Christ. A lecture delivered by Comandante in UP Diliman Archaeological Studies Program presented the presence of Baybayin Scripts on the Manunggul Jar found in the same named cave that was carbon dated to 890-710 BC.


Manunggul Cave Palawan

The Tabon Cave complex, a series of about 200 caves, in Lipuun Point, Quezon, Palawan, bears witness to the earliest Philippine Paleographic Baybayin (on clay) found in the Manunggul Jar. While the Tabon man was dated to about 47,000 yrs old, the Manunggul Jar was found in the same named cave (within Tabon cave complex) dated to about 890-710 BC. (data from National Museum/Dr. Eusebio Dizon 2003).


The Tabon Cave, in fact, was populated by peoples earlier than Tabon Man, since stone tools were there again to prove this. The deepest soil deposit of the cave was dated to approximately 50,000 years old, and the youngest to about 10,000 years. This shows that the cave was used continuously for about 40,000 years by peoples that use the same kind of tools. The earliest carbon 14 date obtained for the Tabon Cave was about 30,000 years B.C. from charcoal sample, which among others suggest the earliest date for the use of fire in the Philippines.

  1. This way my colleague Wesley Virgin's report starts with this SHOCKING and controversial video.

    As a matter of fact, Wesley was in the army-and shortly after leaving-he unveiled hidden, "MIND CONTROL" tactics that the government and others used to get whatever they want.

    THESE are the EXACT same secrets tons of celebrities (especially those who "became famous out of nothing") and elite business people used to become rich and famous.

    You probably know how you use less than 10% of your brain.

    Mostly, that's because the majority of your brainpower is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Maybe this expression has even occurred INSIDE OF YOUR very own mind... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's mind around seven years ago, while riding a non-registered, beat-up trash bucket of a car without a license and $3 in his pocket.

    "I'm absolutely fed up with living paycheck to paycheck! Why can't I turn myself successful?"

    You've taken part in those types of questions, right?

    Your success story is going to start. You just need to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.

    WATCH WESLEY SPEAK NOW
