I did not know that Linear B had been decoded. If it has, then what do those tablets say?

Maybe I am thinking of an older script from Crete but I am sure I read recently that we cannot decipher what the ancient Cretans wrote.

18 jars wine. 26 jars oil. 14 slaves for 18 workdays each equals (scratch scratch). 500 yards linen.

The vast majority of ancient texts in any script are inventories.

We cannot decipher what the ancient Cretans wrote.

And we know that modern cretins can't read.

Linear B has been partly decoded. Linear A has not.

Linear A is still undeciphered as is Cretan Hieroglyphic
