Linear A and The Machine: a Brute Force Attack to Decrypt the Minoan Code

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Linear A incised on tablets found in Akrotiri, Santorini

This is the story of a quest. A story which stems from a stream of failures and some gleams of perseverance, where countless attempts clash with repeated falls, a story which exists because of people who gave up and other individuals who took the baton to continue the quest. It is a story which, in itself, dates back to more than one hundred years ago, contemplates some exciting moments and bitter disappointments, and falls beneath a landslide of resignation and powerlessness before starting anew again.

This is a story of Linear A. Not its complete history – there are books and academic papers, for that (e.g., Robinson, passim; Perono Cacciafoco, 154-170) –, but the story of one of its last ongoing decipherment attempts, born out of the almost absolute certainty of its undecipherability. Therefore, this is a story on Linear A. 

The Rediscovery of ‘Linear A’

Linear A was (re-)discovered by Sir Arthur Evans at the beginning of the 20th century. After more than one hundred years and many failed decipherments, a considerable number of scholars lost all hope that, one day, we will ever be able to interpret its puzzle. Some other individuals still work patiently on it, trying to unravel its tangle.

At the level of definition, Linear A is, indeed, a currently undeciphered writing system from Bronze Age Crete (specifically from the New Palace Period), in the Aegean Sea. It ‘hides’ the so-called Minoan language, which, at the moment, cannot be read. The script was used by the Minoans (possibly a pre-Greek civilization) approximately between 1800 BC and 1450 BC.
