This is not what the discoverer is saying: "The Dispilio Tablet refutes a major facet of the Indo-European Theory that states that the Phoenicians were the inventors of the alphabet and that the ancient Hellenes adopted it from them. The writings on the tablet possess letters from Linear A.". --Wetman 22:55, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
- Linear A doesn't consist of letters in the first place, but of syllables.

- Indo-European theory says nothing at all about the Phoenician alphabet (a writing system). What's more, Linear A is undeciphered, and does not does appear to be Indo-European as far as anyone can tell.
- Has anyone here actually read Hourmouziades' publications? Strangely, they are pretty much invisible in Google Scholar and Google Books. --Macrakis (talk) 02:09, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
