This book delves into one of history's most compelling linguistic puzzles. It recounts the discovery of ancient tablets on Crete, bearing inscriptions from a Bronze Age civilization predating Classical Greece. For fifty years, the meaning and language of these writings remained an enigma.
Margalit Fox crafts a narrative that intertwines history, linguistics, and cryptology. The story follows the intellectual pursuit to decipher these early European records, from the Aegean Bronze Age to the early 20th century.
