Also known as Minoan writing. A general term for writing used primarily in the Cretan-Mycenaean cultural sphere in the 2nd millennium BC. There are hieroglyphics (before 1700 BC), Linear A, and Linear B. Linear A was used around 1800-1400 BC and is thought to be of Indo-European or Semitic origin in Asia Minor, but has not yet been deciphered. Linear B is also known as Mycenaean writing, and was used from the 16th to 12th centuries BC. A typeface based on Linear A, it is a type of syllabary that combines consonants and vowels. It was discovered by Ventris to be ancient Greek. →Mycenaean documents→Related topics Cypriot writing | Greek | Hieroglyphics | Khrozny | Minoan civilization | Mycenaean civilization Source : Heibonsha Encyclopedia About MyPedia Information |
