Anyone out there interested in solving puzzles? It would be great if someone could figure out how to decipher Linear A writings. #LinearA
Great resource, thanks for the link to Douros, George. “Linear A.” n.d. (2019 is earliest in Wayback): https://lineara.xyz/.
FWIW (others finding this), it builds (adding search/visual value) on:
Younger, John. “Linear A Texts & Inscriptions in Phonetic Transcription & Commentary,” 2000-. https://people.ku.edu/~jyounger/LinearA/.
