Teaser: The Recovery of Writing (Patreon)
This is a teaser of the bonus episode, The Recovery of Writing found over on Patreon.In this bonus episode we look deeper into the re-emergence of writing in Greek lands as the region was transitioning from the Dark Ages and into the Archaic Age. Writing was not a new invention in Greek lands, the Mycenaeans of the Bronze Age used a scripted known as Linear B for administrative purposes. Though, with the Bronze Age collapse, the Mycenaeans, along with Linear B would disappear. What would emerge in Greece as the land began to recover would be a new script borrowed from the Phoenicians, but altered by the Greeks to become the Greek alphabet.
