Linear A libation tables : a semitic connection explored by Eu Min, Niki Cassandra, Perono Cacciafoco, Francesco, Cavallaro, Francesco Paolo

“…Attempts to decipher the writing system have been unsuccessful for several reasons. Unlike the Linear B language (Mycenaean Greek), Minoan, the language hidden behind Linear A and still undeciphered, bears no apparent similarity to Greek, and any ‘translation’ of Linear A based provisionally on Linear B phonetic values has not produced any tangible result. …”
