Paul Faure (archaeologist)

Paul Faure (archaeologist)

Paul Faure was a French archaeologist. He was born in Paris in 1916 and graduated from École normale supérieure. In 1967, he became professor of Greek language and civilization at the University Blaise Pascal at Clermont-Ferrand. He eventually became Doctor Honoris Causa at the University of Athens. During his life as a scientist, Faure was connected with expeditions and studies of history, historical geography, and linguistics of the Mediterranean and Near East. Faure repeated with his friends the majority of Alexander the Great's military campaigns in the Near and Middle East. He has worked and published extensively on topics related to Minoan civilization, particularly on the interpretation of the Linear A writing system. Faure has advanced the hypothesis that the language written in Linear A was a pre-Greek Indo-European language. [P. Faure (1984), "Du Caractère indo-européen de la langue écrite en Crète à l'âge du bronze moyen." "Études Indo-Européennes" 8: 1-23.] He has also proposed a deciphering of the Phaistos disc. His bibliography comprises more than 70 articles and books, published between 1961 and 2003. Faure, an honorary citizen of Iraklion, Crete, died on July 13, 2007.
