About this product
Product Information
When he announced his successful decipherment of the Rongorongo script of Easter Island in 1996, Steven Roger Fischer joined the ranks of the great decipherers of all time. No one had ever deciphered not one but two ancient scripts. Both scripts, the Rongorongo writing and an ancient Cretan artifact called the Phaistos Disk, yielded information of great historical importance calling for a revision of current archaeological theories. Glyphbreaker is the exciting story of how Fischer did it, by the man who can claim the title of the greatest glyphbreaker who ever lived.

Book arrived in decent condition, man it’s big too! The 60s was such a colorful era and I’ve had a Fallout kick recently so heck, why not? Decent price, arrived safe, and didn’t take too long at all. I’ll enjoy flipping through this, and when I buy more books in the series, this’ll probably be the seller I get them from
