This week has been pretty incredible, but now I think I’m nearly settling into the project here on Hayara. The temple complex has many stages, dating from between 3000 and 8000 years ago! It’s at least 6 square kilometres in size too, though was mostly obscured by thick forest, is partially subterranean and is on an island, largely uninhabited for at least 400 years, which is why it was hidden for so long. It also explains why, after it was discovered 90 years ago, nobody was able to excavate it fully. However, with the help of the Federation Archaeological Survey, this project has grown over the last 15 years to encompass the whole site.
Doctor Kejata has had me working through the Hayari linguistic database with Rejik, a linguistics student from Hayara’s Institute of Archaeology in an attempt to find any similarities between this ancient language and more modern Hayari - the earliest records of which are around 2100 years old. That means there’s a gap of 900 years between these early records and the latest addition to the complex. Therefore, it’s a matter of combing through Hayari historians’ studies of the ancient religions, trying to match up the syntax of the glyphs to early modern Hayari, and analysing the script itself to see if the symbols could have evolved - in any way - into early modern Hayari script.
