Rewriting History : The decipherment of Linear A and a history of Egypto-Cretan relations

YouTube ^ | April 27, 2023 | An interview with author Mark Cook

Admittedly I only skimmed the transcript, so I may have missed something crucial.

But seems to me if you claim to have deciphered Linear A, your talk would be a heck of a lot more linguistics-heavy than this talk is. Just like what Chadwick did with Linear B.

detailed accounting analysis to prove that linear a is indeed Egyptian shorthand

Ah so he's a Forensic Accountant who claims to have "proved" that linear A is an Egyptian shorthand. Without any linguistic proofs that I can see. Without any regular and clear examples of Egyptian grammatical construction.

My left eyebrow just migrated further up my forehead. I think I'll just stick with the Pelasgian hypothesis, thanks.

Can you tell us who wrote/copied this transcript?

It’s the one auto-gen’d by YouTube, but I run a little gizmo to make the formatting nicer.

The University of Montana Mansfield Library used to have its “Language Finger” page linking to pages on individual languages. A search for these turns up a bunch of those pages, but the master list is long gone.

The search term I used is ‘U of Mt Mansfield Library Language Finger”.

“Another surprising discovery appears to be a sewerage system that dates back 12,000 years ago, an architectural feature that yet again shows that as humanity came out of the last Ice Age they were anything but primitive.”

Thanks! There’s a couple of vloggers discussing that site on YouTube. I’d not posted it because I couldn’t get into their style.

Another surprising discovery appears to be a sewerage system that dates back 12,000 years ago,

She: "Og, what are you building? And why?"

Og: "It's a sewage system. You want this place to end up like San Francisco?"

Cretan history goes back to the stone age. the Philistines were iron age. you are missing a piece of the puzzle here

[wafflehouse]

thanks! this was a very interesting post (and would have missed this entirely without your post). bronze age history is very interesting

[SunkenCiv]

My pleasure! Thanks for the kind remarks.

I’ve just read that LeBron’s age is a factor in his downward spiral. /rimshot
