A "glyph breaker" is then a decipherer, someone who lets us read the unreadable, that linguistic magician who gives voice to the mute past. Until 1984 no one had been able to read Crete‘s 3600-year old Phaistos Disk, Europe‘s earliest literature and greatest written enigma. Until 1994 no one could make sense of Easter Island‘s mysterious Iongorongo writing, Oceania‘s only script predating the twentieth century. No one had ever deciphered two wholly different historical scripts before. Until now. This is the true story of these two achievements. | 出版日期 | Book 1997 | 关键词 | ETA; Europe; language; ritual | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4612-2298-9 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4612-7490-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4612-2298-9 | copyright | Steven Roger Fischer 1997 |
