7. The Cypro-Minoan Script
Recent progress in deciphering Cypro-Minoan inscriptions from Cyprus has shed new light on the island’s role in Late Bronze Age commerce and diplomacy. Unlike Linear A and B, Cypro-Minoan is a distinct script, and its study has revealed evidence of complex trade networks and international correspondence. Research published in Antiquity Journal suggests Cyprus was a crucial mediator between powerful states of the era, offering a fresh perspective on Mediterranean connectivity and the unique identity of Cypriot civilization.
