Linear B
Speaker : Peter Barker
Linear B is the oldest known script to write ancient Greek. The ability to read the script was lost and forgotton in ancient Greece. The script was rediscovered in the 1800's and finally deciphered in 1952.
Peter looks at the history of the script, how it was deciphered, and what the texts tell us of life before Classical Greek times.
