4. To make things more clear: the INDEX document file is beginning at the beginning of Level 1, i.e. with a copy of the page on the internet site from the hyperlink named Rongorongo. Then should ideally follow copies of the pages from the hyperlinks named miroglyph, the experiment, responsible creator, and references. Etc.

However, due to my changes over time in the internet site there is no longer always exact correspondences between the pages for paper in A4-format in INDEX.doc and the current pages in my site. Although INDEX.doc thus is sometimes old it will anyhow mostly serve its purpose quite well - viz. to be used in order to search. It is easy to check with the site if there has been any relevant changes.

So such a search will begin with Level 1, with all the pages to be reached from not only the links which can be immediately seen but also the further links which follow on the pages which are reached from these links.

Then the search will automatically continue in the same manner with the internet pages of Level 2, Level 3, Level 4, Level 5, respectively of Level 6.

The number of doc pages in A4 format for INDEX amounts to ca 1800, i.e. to around 6 normal sized ordinary books.

For this invention will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practise their memory. Their trust in writing, produced by external characters which are no part of themselves, will discourage the use of their own memory within them. You have invented an elixir not of memory, but of reminding; and you offer your pupils the appearance of wisdom, not true wisdom, for they will read many things without instruction and will therefore seem to know many things, when they are for the most part ignorant and hard to get along with, since they are not wise, but only appear wise.' Now that Plato's apprehensions have become fact, there is nothing left of the ancient knowledge except the relics, fragments and allusions that have survived the steep attrition of the ages ...
