You're right of course but the article above is unclear about whether the claim is that Linear A transcribes Hebrew or a different Semitic language. First it says that the language of Linear A is a semitic language that is a precursor to biblical Hebrew: >> Di Mino believes that Linear A belongs to an extinct Semitic language that was a precursor to biblical Hebrew, the way that Latin is a precursor to Italian. But then it compares the Linear A language directly to Hebrew. For example: >> Once deciphered, Di Mino saw that the prayer was similar to subsequent Hebrew prayers but was addressed to a Goddess. So maybe I'm confused. The claim that the Minoans spoke a semitic language sounds less odd than claiming they spoke straight-up biblical Hebrew.
