Let's wait until it's been verified.

I agree. The post has too few information. Also

>> reviewed by linguistics experts at Rutgers and Cambridge.

Here in Argentina, near 2005, we had like 5 guys that claimed to have 5 independent solutions of the Goldbach Conjeture. Each one got a PhD student that volunteer to read it, discussed the obvious problems with the author, tried to help to solve them and after a few months of back and forth they concluded that none of the solutions were correct or has an interesting insight. Nobody was surprised about the that, but some wanted to give them a try.

Until there is a official report by Rutgers or Cambridge, it doesn't mean too much.

>> He's translated over 300 words

Where is the table of translations?

You're absolutely right! We've opened a ticket with the Linear A folks, hopefully they'll get back to us soon with an update as to whether we've got it correct or not. Hang tight!

How does an expert even verify something like this?
