Jan Ott on the Oera Linda Book

In a Dutch interview summarized in English, Jan Ott says his Oera Linda work and free website are unfinished, with new translations still appearing. He wants researchers in genetics and geology. The opening, for him, is Atland sinking and farmers then seeking another country. He glosses Frisian terms, one as the far side of a water, and Walden as a Friesland word for outsiders. Names such as Liko and Hidde need not prove direct descent. A similar name occurs in his family near 1000 or 1100, and Adel, he says, is character rather than blue blood. He ties publication to William of Orange, shows a six spoke wheel made with a compass, and fits the story into a larger past. He notes a shared origin proposed for Finnish and Hungarian, a later flood that cost a power, and lines a child could read while other meanings stay unclear. On the copy itself he asks what burg wall texts remain, repeats a charge that someone took it, and describes an uninitiated man who expected a family treasure.
