Linear A

Linear A is an ancient script used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete, dating back to around 1800 to 1450 BCE. It consists of symbols that represent sounds or syllables, similar to a written language. Despite numerous discoveries, Linear A remains undeciphered, meaning we cannot fully understand the texts it records. Most examples are found on clay tablets, and the script likely reflects administrative and economic activities. Its undeciphered status makes it a focal point of study for linguists and archaeologists interested in ancient cultures and languages.
