resembles runes, but not quite runes. Runes are more rectangular, and this was more square-like, something like that, but similar to runes. And then I wrote down just some numbers or words using this language, and showed the paper to the Mystic-Old-Man, and he said: “This is an extraterrestrial language.” But again — what is it, why, for what purpose? Maybe it was just enough to psychologically prepare me, as the character of the book, and you, as readers, for the topic of extraterrestrials. You know, little crumbs were scattered throughout the book — something small about an alien here, a little hint there. Big Alexander said that King Tut was an alien, then there’s this alien script, and then — bit by bit — and then — boom! And how does the first volume of “Alternative History” end? Interesting, right? It didn’t give me anything more than that, but it’s interesting that whenever you come into contact with something unique, it really, like the Mystic-Old-Man says, switches you on. Let’s put it this way: we are all connected to something — some kind of vibrations in our society, to people. From this, certain thoughts and moods are transmitted to us. Naturally, when you can now draw some kind of circle or just make a picture or a sticker with these symbols and look at them, it’s like being in a sacred place — you connect to something again, and you sort of observe the world from the outside, but it sobers you very clearly. I’m a researcher, I like that — like Indiana Jones — it’s my thing. But I didn’t go any further. I was just interested in where this script came from, who invented it, why extraterrestrials have such a script. Again, just imagine how many future versions of us there are, and how many languages have been lost over time, and how many acquired. Everything changes, everything gets rewritten, reworked. Maybe it’s a future Korean-Chinese-Japanese language, just in a transformed form.
