This tripartite idea is also contained in the ideogram symbolic to "IA" from the Linear B gramiki; according to the the archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans (1851-1941).The obtained photo has been hand-developed in old chemical formulas in order to create the photo-paper as a black & white negative of 13x18 cm size; and it is treated in different toners like old photos. I then scanned and toned and hand colored it by digital means. Therefore; the present photo is digital with ancient origins..." John HiosAthens; National Archaeological Museum.
