AI Engineer Claims to Have Cracked Linear A Script

A blog post on aiclambake.com announces that an AI engineer named 'Clam' has cracked the Linear A script, an undeciphered writing system of Minoan civilization. Using a transformer-based model trained on known Linear B and related scripts, the AI generated transliterations and possible meanings for Linear A inscriptions. The engineer claims the model identified consistent phonetic values and suggested that Linear A is a syllabic script related to an early Indo-European language. The claim has not been peer-reviewed, and experts remain skeptical, noting the lack of a bilingual text. However, the approach demonstrates the potential of AI in historical linguistics.
