>- it has been formerly proposed that these markings represent lunar calendar data but not generally accepted by scholars. No further details on difference from their proposal or why the former proposal was rejected.
The paper actually discusses this in detail. The difference between this and prior lunar proposals is that they hypothesize:
1) what is being counted in lunar months
2) when it is counting from
3) it supports this with a large amount of contemporary data on animal behavior.
If correct, this is an amazing demonstration of data transfer. It decodes basically 850 sets of observational animal behavior data recorded 30,000 on animal behavior years ago. It is like finding the notebooks of ancient scientists for an entire region.
