Now how about Cretan Linear A?
“Now how about Cretan Linear A?”
Yes, I hope that’s next on the AI translation of texts. Would love to have that mystery solved. Dying of curiosity, I am.
One problem with cracking Linear A is, there are no known multilingual inscriptions, or anything that may have been written on transitory materials. The second problem is, there aren’t a lot of tablets of Linear A, and a larger sample would be needed to try this technique.
A number of people (including Barry Fell) have claimed to have cracked it, but neither the people who have made the claims nor linguists agree that anyone has done it. :^)
