Hats off to the scholars and linguists who devoted their time and efforts in deciphering some of our ancient languages. While it's true that for some of these ancient scripts there were records inscribed on manuscripts together with known languages that aided in translation (e.g., the Rosetta Stone and the Behistun Rock), the labor to actually perform the linguistic analysis is still intensive. I hope through research and mathematics, we can improve our linguistic tools even further and, we can finally decode other languages such as those in the ancient writings in Mohenjo-Daro as well as the bewildering Voynich manuscript.

Being a software engineer, I was particularly thrilled when while reading about Linear B I found out the the word for "data" (de-do-me-na) has remained unaltered for 3.000+ years, from Mycenaean to Modern Greek.
@asicdathens3 жыл бұрын
It was an infusion of ancient Greek into common speaking language after the Greek Independence to get rid of Turkish and other foreign words from the common Greek. The Italian "Gazetta" was replaced by "Εφημερίδα". Some words like "περιθωράκιον" never made it and we still use the word "γιλέκο" . I believe this is how the word "δεδομένα" was reintroduced in Greek. My favorite thing about Linear B is that all we have are practically spreadsheets of things and people indicative that these things will still rule the world after we die. BTW I write SW for living as well

I would just like to leave a comment. Althoug decifering an ancient language is important, it's also necessary to exist archaeological campaings to unveil other information connected to culture, economics and trade. :)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Linear A is a writing system that was used by the Minoans of Crete from 1800 to 1450 BC to write the hypothesized Minoan language or languages. Linear A was the primary script used in palace and religious writings of the Minoan civilization. It was succeeded by Linear B, which was used by the Mycenaeans to write an early form of Greek. It was discovered by archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans. No texts in Linear A have yet been deciphered.

Linear A was not used to write Greek, so, we might guess the sound of the symbols by comparing it to Linear B, the Cypriot Syllabary and a few others on those two islands, but we don't have any bilingual inscriptions to make sense of its language
