Cypro-Minoan writing deciphered (original) (raw)

This work will easily be understood after the reader familiarizes with our previous works on the Aegean syllabic scripts or simply with the basic principles explained there, namely that: -the Minoan civilization was created by Sumerians who settled mainly on Crete since the very beginning of the 3rd millennium BC, when the most important Sumerian city in Mesopotamia was Uruk and their most revered God was An. -since the settlement of Sumerians on Crete and Cyprus, starting about 3000 years BC, the Sumerian pictography evolved into two types of syllabic script, both of them called ProtoLinear (PL); there were two types of PL script, because the Sumerian language evolved differently in Cyprus than in Crete, so each type of PL was adapted to the local dialect; consequently we have two types of ProtoLinear: the Cypriot PL and the Cretan PL. -the PL script in both its types was an ingenious invention because it was the easiest script to learn; actually a fluent speaker of Sumerian did not even have to go to school to learn reading, because the name and phonetic value of each sign was the name of the thing depicted by the sign, and all signs were readily recognizable by Sumerians; consequently, the PL signs remained always recognizable by Sumerians no matter how long time would elapse; on the other hand, the PL script used by non-Sumerians naturally changed by the passage of time, the signs were simplified and distorted as for non-Sumerians there was no connection between sign-image and sign-name. -in other words, PL was, by definition, the script used by Sumerians, while the same script used by other nations was not PL, but some other kind of script, such as LA, LB, LC, LCGr.
