Trojan script is a series of signs of unknown origin found on vessels from Troy excavated by Heinrich Schliemann's expedition.[1] Their status is disputed.
Analysis
A Soviet historian of antiquity Nikolay Kazansky (ru) found them much similar to Linear B signs,[1] while another Soviet historian, Arkady Molchanov (ru), regarded them as "imitation of writing".[citation needed]
Inscriptions
Inscription № 2444, if compared with Linear B (or Linear A) signs, may be read:
ku?-to-a-ro-ka-ro-ju??-?-ro-tu[citation needed]
Inscription № 2445 is illegible and seems to have partly deteriorated; several signs may be identified as fragments of Linear A or Linear B signs but not as whole signs.[citation needed]
