Golden Praeneste Fibula From 499 BCE Drought Was Written In Akkadian

(December 22, 2023) Letter style is mostly Aegean Island with Etruscan letters D and P. The mixing of letter styles in border areas is not unusual. Many have claimed this style is Old Latin simply based on the fact it was found near Rome but any inspection of the text shows that is not the case.  The letter style and subject matter of this text is actually Druid.

This text is saying that emotion magic can overcome the astrological fate curse on manifesting life forms by the life powers of Hu and Yahu.  It reads in Alphabetic Akkadian:

• Activity emanates those revelations (of life forms) from Yahu  :  Energy can activate motivations  :  The openings of Hu are becoming ineffective  :  The Openings of Hu are motivated by emotion-owls  :   Revelations can resist the fate-cursing of the nest (network)

At a meeting of the German Institute in Rome on January 7, 1886, Wolfgang Helbig described an engraved gold fibula or dress pin found at Palestrina, ancient Praeneste, in 1871. Helbig had a good reputation in the archaeological community and had been second secretary (assistant director) of the Institute since 1865.

But Helbig hadn't told the Institute audience all he knew. He said a friend owned it, and that friend was Francesco Martinetti, a seller of antiquities, faker, and smuggler. And there were signs that something was wrong with Helbig's tale. The fibula was later said to be from the Bernardini Tomb, which was excavated in 1876. That contradicted Helbig's story, but he didn't challenge it. The few who raised questions about the fibula, such as archaeologist Giovanni Pinza in 1905, were ignored. 

So, controversy has long existed on whether this text is forged due to the circumstances of it discovery. Based on this translation it is definitely is authentic.

Its Authenticity is also confirmed by the latest physical tests done in 2011 also show the metal is old. In 2011, new scientific evidence was presented by the research team of Edilberto Formigli and Daniela Ferro, whose optical, physical and chemical analyses allowed them to take into consideration smaller scrapes on the surface of the object.  These showed the existence of micro-crystallization of the gold surface: a natural phenomenon that could have taken place only in the course of centuries after the fusion.

Firstly, the letter assignments are completely wrong. Secondly, names are not a translation because they can cluster any arbitrary set of letters.
