--- Quote ---The Minoan language known as “Linear A” may finally be deciphered with the help of the internet, which can be used to uncover previously-hidden links to the much-better understood Linear B language, which developed later in the prehistoric period.

The puzzle of Linear A has tormented linguists for many decades, as they attempted to link it somehow to Linear B, which was translated successfully for the first time in the 1950s. Linear B was used on the Greek mainland and Crete 50-150 years later than Linear A.

These two languages and writing are from the Bronze Age Minoan (Crete) and Mycenaean (Greece) civilizations. The Mycenaean civilization preceded those who became the classical Greek civilization.

Sure wish I had even the tiniest inkling what this means and why it is important.

Probably.

Cyber Liberty:
This is cool beans!  So now I only have to ignore one Minoan language instead of two, from people who haven't the common decency to spreek English!

libertybele:
Ok then.  Got it.  *****rollingeyes*****

You'll wish youd learned Minoan language Linear A the next time your find yourself on Crete trapped in the labyrinth with the Minotaur chewing on your leg.
