Another significant break-through was that of Michael Ventris (1922-1956), who deciphered the Linear B script found on Crete and identified it as an early form of Greek.
Thus, Champollion had little enough to go on to decipher the Rosetta Stone, and Ventris would have been hard put to find a native speaker of Minoan Linear B (or A).
Ventris, the program held, vowed to be the one who would one day translate the script(s), a reflex of ambition rarely associated with teenagers today.
In any event, Ventris did, finally, decode Linear B, but died (at thirty-four) before arriving at a translation of Linear A.
From the standpoint of language, Ventris's work was more important, particularly because it filled in a gap in our knowledge of the early states of Indo-European languages.
