Let’s look at a word that exists in both Linear B and Greek.

The word qa-si-re-u in Linear B translates as quasileus or Basileus in Greek. In Mycenaean, quasileus means chief or head man; in Greek Basileus means king.

Linear B was used by the Mycenaean people from approximately 1500-1200 B.C. Linear A was used in Crete and some of the Greek Islands between the years 1800-1400 B.C, during the height of the Minoan Age. The hieroglyphs (1700-1600 B.C.) overlap the Linear A scripts in time, but it is unclear how they are related. Despite the efforts of many, the hieroglyphs and Linear A have never been deciphered.
