@samchisholm85: We can pronounce every word the Minoans wrote and understand none of them. One phrase keeps appearing on their sacred vessels and nobody can translate it. Meanwhile the entire Minotaur story was written by their rivals, centuries after Crete fell. #knossos #crete #minoan #ancienthistory #minotaur

Minoan language was a language isolate, that's why we haven't yet deciphered it.

Put a couple of AuDHDers on it. They'll have you an entire translation key in a few months.

Def one of my favorite mysterious Civilizations. Even more advanced than the greeks. Its my theory, that alot of things on Crete were pilaged/eased from Minoans like what happened to Alexandria.

that kind of makes no sense given how we build languages in patterns and there are likely similarities between patterns even across grammar of unrelated languages

This civilization never ceases to interest me. So much is still unknown about them. They've always held my interest far more than the Roman Empire.

Without a concept to vocabulary reference, the language remains inert.
