Day 1, August 28, 2026. First I'm going to get information about the script, that is "Byblic". I plan on figuring out the following:
There are many kinds of writing systems, but most can be narrowed down:
Byblic was used around 1800-1500BC in modern day Jebeil (Byblos), Lebanon. Written from Right to Left
Linguistic theory #1, "⅄" and "y" are synonymous, because of the sequence B-2Bomber WAW NUN (Possibly a word) in tablet C&D
Day 2, August 30, 2026. First I'm going to get information about the script, that is "Byblic". I plan on figuring out the following:
Linguistic theory #2, "At" is a possibly a word, appearing after B-2Bomber WAW NUN in tablet C and starting tablet M
Linguistic theory #3, Byblos, Proto-Sinaitic, and Phonecian are all definetly Egyptian Inspired, Phonecian could have been partially inspired by Byblic Script, could have guessed, but the oldest Phonecian inscriptions are from Jebeil (Byblos), Lebanon. from 1000-1100BC
Day 3, August 31, 2026. Current candidates for the Byblos language is likely early Caananite language or Phoenecien
Day 4, September 1, 2026. Trying to map out tablets A, C, and D. Also making a chart of possible words.

Hypothesis: On line 10 "" of Tablet C, the unreadable characters could possibly be ""
Observation: I see "" as possibly a word, but also I see "" as a root. If I'm correct about Byblos number system, it could refer to ("" 10) ""
Linguistic theory #4, Byblos might have a simple number system using tally's () and borrowed egyptian numerals ( and maybe ?) NOTE: ""
Observation: Byblic Spatulas usually start with "(?)"
Day 5, September 2, 2026. I noticed a pattern of "" occuring before "", and "" or just "" occuring after
Day 6, September 3, 2026. Transcribing hind side of tablet D
Observation: It has previously by Malachi Martin that the word "" appears multiple times, usually over "𐤂𐤁𐤋" which is Jebeil in Phoenician. I want to point out that "" appears two times in Tablet D.

CRAZY observation: On both sides of Tablet D, there is an inscription that looks awfully familiar, front being "", and back being "", I can use this to reconstruct the text as "". Also, i noticed other paterns pointing to a word separation, ""
Day 7, September 4, 2026. I just observed that on the first line of Tablet D (Back), there's a possible word "", I say that because on Tablet D (Front), I see "". Which I reconstruct as "" based on patterns I've seen that line up with other patterns (Possible words)
Day 8, September 5, 2026. While Proto-Byblian is probably not a direct ancestor of the Phoenician Alphabet, I do see quite the evidence of Proto-Byblian inspiration in the Phoenician Alphabet, This doesn't necessarily mean they both have the same Phoenetic pronounciation, though it is possible. I also see resemblance of Egyptian graphemes. Though again, this doesn't mean they both have the same pronounciation. I do see Egyptian as inspiration for Proto-Byblian, and Proto-Byblian as inspiration for Phoenician.
I propose that the three characters below are allographic based on the word "" in Tablet D, and how it appears in Tablet C as "", and interchanges with a grapheme that looks like a "y"
Proto-Byblian/Byblic was used roughly in 2nd millenium BC, which was a time of experiment in Levantine writing systems. I believe that at the time of the inscriptions, there may have not been a fixed orientation for the Graphemes, which would explain why some mirrored characters are likely the same. (See image below.
I also believe that Proto-Byblian could possibly be a combination of Logographic, Syllabic, and (maybe but probably not) alphabetic.
Some graphemes I belive could be logographic are symbolic graphemes such as "", ( maybe ""?). This may or may not even be likely with the very small amount of corpuses and inscriptions.
Note: "" is the most used grapheme appearing over 50 times and being on tablets, monuments, and spatulas. And "" also, but appearing a little less
Day 9, September 7, 2026. I'm today going to count the number of inscriptions, and transcribe them onto this website, so I can later make a map of all the graphemes.
Day 10, September 8, 2026. I created a Python script to try to analyze the text, but there is several problems with the script since a computer cannot analize while considering coincidental similar words, suffixes, and words next to other words, but it can help me spot some patterns I would have not found without the script. Here's the results (Left is the word, on the Right is amount of times word occured):
| 6
| 5
| 4

Day 11, September 9, 2026. I'm now going to check the patterns the script gave me, and revise which patterns are likely words, I removed the words that are likely either coincidentally appearing multiple times, and ones that are probably just within a word:
| 6 (Occurs with "" four times)
| 5 (Occurs with "" two times, and occurs with "" two times)
| 4 (Occurs with "" two times, and occurs with "" two times)
| 4 (Occurs with "" three times)
| 3 (Maybe ""?)
| 3 (Unsure...)
| 3 (Probably is a word)
| 2 (I reconstructed, probably is three words "")
| 2 (Maybe a word or name?)
| 2 (Maybe a word or name?)
| 2 (Maybe a word or name?)
| 2 ("" and or "")
| 2 (A word with *possibly but not sure* numerals)
| 2 (Maybe a word? alligns with what I've noted. See Day 7's notes)
| 2 (Probably is a word and would probably appear more if I reconstructed the tablet)
| 2 (Maybe a word? alligns with what I've noted. See Day 7's notes)
I just reconstructed the inscriptions based on patterns, probably not 100% accurate, I also added word dividers (On where I'm at least 80% sure there's a word).
Tablet C
???
Tablet D (Front)
?
Tablet D (Back)
????
Day 12, September 12, 2026. To make a better script, I need to first make a dictionary of words I already found like "/", "" etc. and then make the script search for the longest words and see if those match, if so continue and put word dividers there.
