Strange - just a few days ago I read about this find...



Do you think your artefact there is a comb also ?

Nope, n the coverage of yesterday's news on tv they said that apparently there are nails in the bronze hand
 

Is it Latin Alphabet? I think it is...

There were plenty of ancient alphabets around the Mediterranean. Probably many more of which there is no trace today. The most ancient and easiest to work material is wood and in these latitudes it's all lost - little swampland with preserved ancient wood. But these "alphabets" may have had phonetician inspiration, those I know of here show up after levantine trade was known to be common already.
The same problem, lack of ancient organic materials, affects other warm climate regions. Africa further south, much of south Asia. Northern Eurasia has revealed some really ancient and intriguing preserving wood carvings.
