Linear A is one of two linear scripts used in ancient Crete (a third script is Cretan Hieroglyphic). They were discovered and named by Arthur Evans. Linear B was deciphered in 1952 by Michael Ventris and was used to write Mycenaean Greek. Linear A is far from being totally deciphered but it is partially understood and it may be read through Linear B values.
