Reviews

Mystery solving has always been one of our favourite pastimes and the decipherment of ancient scripts presents a vital key to further knowledge and great personal triumph to the decipherer. Pope has revised this superb study (and updated it with sections on the Carian script and Maya hieroglyphs) in which he assesses the work of contributors to the science of decipherment, using as his sources their original publications and examples of their drawings and tables. Scripts discussed include Egyptian hieroglyphs, Palmyra script, Persian cuneiform and Mycenaean Linear B, and with 126 illustrations and an extensive glossary of technical terms, you couldn't ask for a more comprehensive examination of an extraordinary subject.
