AI Engineer Claims Decipherment of Ancient Linear A Script

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

An amateur AI engineer and linguist, Tom Di Mino, claims to have deciphered Linear A, an ancient Minoan script that has puzzled experts for over 120 years. Di Mino's proposed solution suggests that Linear A represents an extinct Semitic language, a precursor to biblical Hebrew. His findings are currently under review by linguistics experts at Rutgers and Cambridge universities. If validated, this breakthrough could significantly impact the field of linguistics, similar to the decipherment of Linear B in 1952. AI

IMPACT This claim, if validated, could showcase AI's potential in historical linguistics and code-breaking.
