Lost Languages:
The Enigma Of The World's
Undeciphered Scripts
by Andrew Robinson
[reprised post] I highly recommend this book! Amusingly, the author reproduces a letter to The Economist magazine regarding its article on the Phaistos Disk. The letter calls it a century old fraud (the disk, not the magazine) that could be exposed as such using thermoluminescence. [p 298].
