In the early 1900s, archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans uncovered nearly 3, 000 tablets inscribed with strange symbols. He thought the script, dubbed Linear B, represented the Minoan language, while others came up with their own theories. Was it the lost language of the Etruscans? Or an early form of Basque? Its meaning would elude scholars for 50 years. Susan Lupack explores the mysterious inscriptions. Lesson by Susan Lupack, directed by Movult

Two places where it been collected is in a mix(later thought.
Because of a close relation to each other. Like Norway is (114) air distance away from Denmark. Denmark using(Krone) same as Norway(Krone ) because in the same slope in time as (+1) and in both locations 1 cupronickel given over (Kr) evaluation (100 ore)
Since the Byzantine elected 7529 begins over in (sep14) as Grecian (Seleucidae) in the year 2332 begin (sep. 14.
I believe, where today is London, even the word( ucidae )for ounce would add up been visiting the same location where the root to find ended up giving the same evaluation as just both had found each time close to one another lol in two different areas One Denmark other with a close approximate distance to Norway. giving the same coin lol.
then,
Roman (AUC) in 2773 begins (Jan 14) because the other both trips happened different month of the beginning in the same day (14)a mistake was made (in my opinion weather conditions )as it reached where Krone as well had been introduced from the other two visited neighbouring (Iceland(Only this was unknown by them Romans)
Iceland introduced (Kron(a) so they wouldn't mix along with its own close members. So the other two regions(Norway -Denmark - Iceland) happened with the third island on its own accord (Later called (Ice)land? cause other two they Call them (Ise)lands) on previous maps.
what it means
Well, the third time(Roman(AUC) didn't put attention it was Kron(a) not previous other Two as Kron(e)and it was the third time they got mixed up trying to map correctly the visited areas. Once again matching the other record but only by approximate maybe (Weight ) cause the letter and exchange had it to become scaled to get them right I believe this is a small forgotten funny story
and this is how a saying come. better to measure by weight when 3times by the eye

I'm willing to bet that Minoan is an Afro-Asiatic language related to the Berbers.
That's where Egypt and Greece got half of their gods from in the stone-age.
Trivia: Africa is named after Athena's original Berber name.
Indeed, it's the continent she seems to have been exported from when the Atlas people were an imperial power in prehistory. Their chief deity was a war goddess at some point.

Ive often wondered where languages come from. The fact that there are so many seems mysterious, seeing as how all peoples descended from the same bunch of ancestors. Even areas that were geographically close together could have completely different languages. Its a great topic for thought.

To anyone who wasnt already familiar with how syllabic scripts work, the videos description of syllabaries as each character representing a consonant and a vowel would be highly misleading. Every character in a syllabary is a complete sound, not a composite of latin characters.
reply

The script was a syllabary, where each symbol represented both a consonant and a vowel--mixed with characters that each represented a whole word.
Wow, that sounds a LOT like Japanese!

The first movie that came to my mind after seeing the title is, Arrival, it shows how we can understand a foreign language but we may also misunderstand it
reply

I remember learning of linear A and linear B in history class in middle school. I wondered how is it that one was deciphered and the other wasnt

Me watching this knowing damn well that I won't ever be able to achieve such thing as deciphering a language: INTERESTING
