Plus, there are many Ogam inscriptions found in the US as well. Just finished reading a very good book, America BC, awesome stuff.

I'm fascinated by the Ogam script. Very versatile. Each letter of the 'alpahbet' is a series of lines. When you are carving words on rocks, it's much easier to carve lines then fancy cursive type letters. Plus you can use your fingers to spell the letters as a kind of sign language. And then, many statues have been found where the hands are spelling words, leaving behind a message for all time.
