Linear A is an ancient script used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete from approximately 1800 to 1450 BCE. It is primarily found on clay tablets and other artifacts, and it is believed to represent the Minoan language. Despite extensive research, Linear A remains undeciphered, making it a significant mystery in the study of ancient writing systems. The script consists of symbols that are thought to represent syllables or sounds, similar to other writing systems like Linear B, which was used by the Mycenaean Greeks. Scholars continue to study Linear A in hopes of unlocking its secrets and understanding more about Minoan culture and society.
