I always thought that the answer to the riddle of the Labyrinth was that you’re not supposed to give babies to David Bowie.

Did it offer any clues as to where Hoffa is buried?

In before someone says that, when deciphered, Linear B means “drink your Ovaltine”.

You know, I think I've got it figured out. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it reads something like this:

There once was a fella from Knossos
Who suffered from some weird neurosis
He'd sit there in Crete
And write with his feet
And his script would for ages engross us

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.

Sometimes an ancient unsolved mystery of a unseen script is just a ancient grammar error or mindless doodling. .
