Pict your this ping.

It says “A bunch of guys got on horses and went somewhere.”

I’m Scots-Irish y’know.

[Rocky]

You Pict a fine time to leave me, Lucille.

(Sorry, couldn’t help myself.)

This is a bump for archaeology.

It’s either a recipe for whisky, or the rules of golf.

Since you might ask...

“Aye an’ a bit of Mackeral settler rack and ruin Ran it doon by the haim, ‘ma place. Well I slapped me and I slapped it doon in the side and I cried, cried, cried.”

“The fear a fallen down taken never back the raize and then Craig Marion, get out wi’ ye Claymore out mi pocket a’ ran doon, doon the middin stain picking the fiery horde that was fallen around ma feet. Never he cried, never shall it ye get me alive ye rotten hound of the burnie crew. Well I snatched fer the blade. O my Claymore cut and thrust and I fell doon before him round his feet.”

“Aye! A roar he cried frae the bottom of his heart that I would nay fall but as dead, dead as ‘a can be by his feet; de ya ken?...and the wind cried back.”

[In English] “Thank you.”

"We left the castle/fort.
We rode for about a month.
We met armed horsemen who were not friends.
There was a fight and folks died."

This is really hard to read?

A linguistic mystery has arisen surrounding symbol-inscribed stones in Scotland that predate the formation of the country itself.

The stones are believed to have been carved by members of an ancient people known as the Picts, who thrived in what is now Scotland from the 4th to the 9th Centuries.

... so those would be ... pictographs?

[The Comedian]

It's not a language or pictograph. It's actually the fossilized remains of Lilliputians riding atop a herd of Eohippus, tragically crushed flat by a falling garden gate into a muddy recess and perfectly preserved.

And whales used to be bears.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

[crz]

I isnt the figures they are stumped on, its the symbols on the top.

[righttackle44]

My last name is either Scottish or English. I’m rooting for the Scottish origin.

Kull is King, Picts, fear him.

Easy translation.

[Waverunner]

I'll just look the symbols up in my ( drum roll please)

[Windflier]

They used a mathematical method to quantify patterns contained within the symbols, in an effort to find out if they conveyed meaning.

Typical eggheads. Too educated to read simple pictograms.

Some hardy Scotsman needs to thump them upside the head and tell them to simply follow the story.

My border ancestors would laugh their kilts off at these numbskulls.

"the language is that of Mordor, which I will not utter here...."

[backwoods-engineer]

It's either Old High Galifreyan¹ or Old Solar².
