Idalion bilingual
George Smith's decipherment of the Cypriot syllabary
- ... that the Idalion bilingual, one of six Phoenician inscriptions found at Dali, Cyprus in 1870, was the "Rosetta Stone" for the decipherment of the Cypriot syllabary? Source: CREWS Display: The Idalion Bilingual: "The Idalion Bilingual was the inscription that provided the vital key needed to decipher the Cypriot syllabic writing system, and is sometimes thought of as the ‘Rosetta stone’ of Cyprus."

GTG. New, long & neutral enuf. Hook checks out, pic ok to use. Qpq done (not concluded). Earwig only picks up translations of the texts. Johnbod (talk) 08:19, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
The QPQ does not seem to be a full review on your part, but a hook suggestion. Yoninah (talk) 01:26, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hi @Yoninah: Fair enough. The Israel-Morocco article still needs a full review, which I was planning to do but am put off by the presence of a single-issue editor at the DYK review who has a habit of hounding. Instead I have reviewed a second DYK article above (The Social Network). Onceinawhile (talk) 14:15, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
