IN PRAISE OF BARRY FELL

Dr H.B. Fell
Howard Barraclough Fell
1917 - 1994

ROCK CUT INSCRIPTIONS are studied by academics under the category of "Rock
Art." The early European colonists noticed them, but being a poorly
educated lot, they had no idea as to their meanings and could not relate to
the answers given by the Native Americans to whom they made inquiry. For
several hundred years, this lack of insight was the standard for study.
Then came Dr. H. B. "Barry" Fell, a Harvard scholar with an avocation for
ancient writings. To his credit he solved the riddle of the Phaistos disk,
determined that the Etruscan language was related to and decipherable by
using Hittite and found the secrets in the Rongo-rongo tablets of Rapa Nui
(Easter Island). He was this centuries greatest linguist.
Far from being a newcomer to the field of linguistics and rock art, Dr.
Fell published his first paper on petroglyphs in 1940. His linguistic
research began with a search for the roots of the Polynesian language and
dialects. As an oceanographer, this was a logical curiosity. Who could have
predicted that this would eventually result in the resolution of the
mystery of the Rongo rongo texts of Rapa Nui?
Dr. Fell addressed the standing and dry stone constructed ruins found
through out the New England states. It is here that a firestorm of vehement
protest swept through the ranks of professional archaeologists. Flamed by
ridicule published in the professional journals, this campaign persists to
this day. Dr. Fell was denied, as a matter of policy, from replying to the
articles. Yet, an unbiased look at the evidence proves him correct. It is a
sad state of affairs at best. For an eloquent reply to these unfounded and
malicious accusations see Dr. Norman Totten's reply as published in The
Epigraphic Society Occasional Papers (ESOP). Few libraries have copies of
this treasured series. Guided by Dr. Fell, ESOP was the vehicle for
publication of epigraphic and diffusion related articles. A listing of
volumes and articles may be accessed by clicking HERE. A few articles have
been made available online and are highlighted.
The late Dr. Barry Fell wrote three popular books. To celebrate the
American bicentennial, he published America, B. C. This book was the first
to deal with identifiable scripts and alphabets that demonstrated the
presence of old world traders and settlers that were far precedent to the
Norse Vikings and European conquerors. This book is currently available,
see our BOOKS section for sources.
The second book he published along this theme was Saga America. Two
editions of this book exist. The original hardcover version contained
several errors. Dr. Fell was using reference material supplied by the late
Dr. Robert Heizer of the University of California. The sketches were
confirmed to be accurate by Dr. Heizer, but one sketch in particular caused
a serious problem. Dr. Fell had deemed it to be a map. Later research
demonstrated several of the "inscribed lines" to be unlabeled fissures and
the edge of the stone. This invalidated the inscription and decipherment as
a map. To eliminate the problem, later editions of Saga had an entire
chapter called The Great Navigations deleted. This does not alter the
premises of the book, but there was valuable material contained within the
deleted chapter that was not related to the map issue. The Inyo Zodiac and
decipherment of a Kufic Arabic inscription was included in both versions of
Saga America and INY-272 (Inyo) is the source. This book is out of print,
see our BOOKS section for sources.
Bronze Age America concluded the trilogy. In this book Dr. Fell recognized
Norse content in a petroglyph site near Peterboro, Canada. The style and
writing systems he recognized placed the sites origins two millennia before
the Viking era. The fact that there are near equals to the ships and
writings found in Scandinavia is convincing evidence that demonstrate his
correct identification. Norse scholars have had little difficulty with
these decipherments. This book is out of print, see our BOOKS section for
sources.
This web site relates to what was reported in Saga America. From a location
called INY-272, Dr. Fell translated an inscription that seemed to relate to
a zodiac and a command to celebrate the festival of renewal on the vernal
equinox written in crude Arabic script. What we discovered demonstrates
quite clearly that Dr. Fell was correct. Someone found a heliolithic, sun
powered, animation. To this they added their marks. The result is a
previously unknown insight to the mindset of the creators. We may not know
who they were, but we can respectfully appreciate their work.

Dr. H. B. Fell
The New Zealand Royal Society has posted a biography of the late
Dr. H. B."Barry" Fell. The presentation of credentials is most impressive.
