Archaeologist and language expert Helena Tomas is working to decipher the world’s most ancient language, Linear A. And she’s using what we know about Linear B to do it. In this groundbreaking talk, Helena takes us on a trip back to ancient Greece to retell the story of the Minoan Civilization, which used the Linear A language, a language that is the earliest European script. Watch as she describes how Linear B was composed and how she hopes to be able to crack the code that is Linear A by using principles from the original Linear B Rosetta Stones.
