Linear A and B

Linear A and Linear B are ancient scripts used by the Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations, respectively. Linear A, employed by the Minoans (circa 2000-1450 BCE), remains undeciphered and is thought to represent a language of their culture. Linear B, used by the Mycenaeans (circa 1450-1200 BCE), has been deciphered and is an early form of Greek, primarily used for administrative purposes. Linear B provides valuable insights into the economy and society of the Mycenaean civilization, while Linear A continues to intrigue researchers due to its unknown language and meaning.
