STATE WILL BULD 3 HILES OF ROAD Sealed Bids to Be Received Next Tuesday Afternoon Hartford, May 27 — That Con- necticut will lay 33 miles of new pavement on its highway system might not only remake history but reveal a new origin of modern lan.| guages. The inscriptions were discovered in 1904 during the excavation of the temple of the Egyptian goddess, Hathor, on the side of Mt. Sinal. They were carved on stone tablets| and images unearthed among ruins| of the temple and were in a lan-| guage never before encountered by | excavators, according to Dr. Henry Pteiffer, Ph. D. instructer in Semitic languages at Harvard. The characters, he said were strangely allied to Egyptian hiero- phabet, yet were not identical with | glyphics and the later Semitic al- NEW BRITAIN DAILY AERALD, FRIDAY, MAY 27, 1927. and Michigan ang left this country last autumn.

MAY THROW LIGHT O MOSES'HISTORY Prol, Kirsopp Lake Believed to Have Solved Language Boston, May 27 (P—The key to the baffling characters of a strange| half-Semitic, half-Egyptian language which floyrished nearly 3,000 yea ago and which science has never; been able to decipher may rest to- day with Prof. Kirsopp Lake, head | of the Harvard-Michigan exvedmon! to Mt. Binai, Arabla. | A terse messago from Prof. Lake| te the Boston Herald reports new-| found fragments of the mysterious| “Sinai inscriptions,” which Harvard university authorities sald might| throw an,entirely new light on| Moses and Biblical history. The Sinal inscriptions were first| tound on the mountain where Moses | received the tablets of the law more| than 2,000 years ago but have never been satisfactorily read although authorities have never ceased to seek. their solution, J¢ Prof. Lake's “fragments” fit into the existing gaps it was possible archaeologists here said, that they ECONOMY CAKE l1en 1% cupe flous. e oupmilk ;':', e R o e £ sal 2 baki 3 ergoon Baker sRVacule ot Cream lih butter and ol o ok e Rherrind oo S xon ‘Inm top of that already in CERTIFIED Prof. Hubert Grimme, a German scientist, who has advanced a trans- lation for the earller fragments| which, however, has not been ac-| cepted by all invéatigators, believes | the inscriptions represent a con-/ necting link between the Egyptian | and Semitic languages. Grimme's translation made Moses, | himself, the writer of the sentence in_which, after identitying himself | as"superintendent of tle mine work- jers on Sinal and the caretaker of | the great temple there gives thanks: to the Egyptian queen (Pharaoh's| daughter) for having resoued him as a child from the Nile, He expresses gratitude for posi-| tions of power the queen has qun‘ | him and refers to the temple as be- |ing rendered in dance longing to the Egyptian goddess| Hathor, and to the Jewish god, Je-| hovah. | According to Dr. Pfeiffer, the scripts date back roughly between| 2,000 and 1,200 B. C., when the Egyptians were known to have min- ed copper and turquoises near Sinaf.
