The book delves into Steven Roger Fischer's groundbreaking achievements in deciphering two significant ancient scripts: the Rongorongo of Easter Island and the Phaistos Disk from Crete. Fischer's work revealed that the Rongorongo was not just a mnemonic tool but was used for creative writing, while his decipherment of the Phaistos Disk unlocked the ancient Minoan language's connection to Mycenaean Greek. This narrative highlights Fischer's exceptional contributions to the field of epigraphy and his status as a leading figure among glyphbreakers.
