What reading level is The Riddle of the Labyrinth: the Quest to Crack An Ancient Code book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
With our conviction that Linear B contained Greek went the irresistible conclusion that Knossos in [that] period formed part of the Mycenaean world.” Evans’s beloved Minoans, with their high style and sophisticated civilization, would have to wait for Linear A to be unraveled for their language to be revealed. (The script, used between about 1750 and 1450 B.C., remains undeciphered to this day. It may forever remain so: there is simply not enough text from which to work.) In the spring of 1954,... an article by Ventris about the “Tripod” tablet, “King Nestor’s Four-Handled Cups,” was published in the American journal Archaeology, helping to bring the decipherment to an international readership. Ventris was truly world-famous now, showered with interview requests, and with honors. In 1955, the young Queen Elizabeth appointed him to the Order of the British Empire. “Offers to join the academic world . . . were now his for the asking,” Robinson writes. But Ventris, no doubt keenly conscious of his lack of a university education, and his mere three years of schoolboy Greek, turned them all down.
