LBK&M VISITS POST 700 012015

This is a lot for something as esoteric as Mycenaean Linear B.  With our profoundest gratitude and thanks.

We have even more great news coming very soon! We have had a major breakthrough which very few Internet sites are privileged to receive. Keep posted.

    That’s great news. Linear B is just a tad obscure for the average Joe, but I enjoy reading about your passion(s.) Glad your blog is doing well.

      Thank you so much, ma belle amie… my dear friend. A TAD! OMG! That is an understatement. I am delighted you support Rita so very much. She has made ENORMOUS strides on 21 months, and is swiftly becoming a highly competent Linear B translator. I am according her her Secondary School diploma later this month.

      Then she and I enter at her UNIVERSITY level, where the demands on her skills will be far more intense. In fact, I shall guide her all the way through a standard 3 year program, and when she gets her BL (Bachelor of Linguistics) in 2018, she and I will have learned so much more together.

      Thanks so much again,

      Richard

      Yes, it is, no question about it. And when the BIG NEWS hits the fan, I am quite sure that LBK&M should be able to average 5K visits per month, or 60K = 60,000 per year. We are making headway! Richard

    Reblogged this on Ritaroberts's Blog and commented:

    I thought my fellow bloggers would like to see the progress Richard and myself are making with the Linear B ancient script writings and thanking you for your support.

Sappho, spelled (in the dialect spoken by the poet) Psappho, (born c. 610, Lesbos, Greece — died c. 570 BCE). A lyric poet greatly admired in all ages for the beauty of her writing style.

Her language contains elements from Aeolic vernacular and poetic tradition, with traces of epic vocabulary familiar to readers of Homer. She has the ability to judge critically her own ecstasies and grief, and her emotions lose nothing of their force by being recollected in tranquillity.
