ANCIENT MYSTERIES. After hold hidden in itself - for decades - as an indecipherable enigma to archaeologists and scholars of ancient languages??, the Phaistos Disc (Phaistos Disk, Phaisto) - was finally decoded.

The result of the work of researcher Barbara Gagliano is recorded in the book "The Phaistos's disc, Key of Genetic Diseases". This relic, has its origins in the - also mysterious - Minoan nation or civilization (from Minos, the king - Crete). Gagliano found the key code of Phaestus in the DNA structure.

It's just one of many fringe theories about the disk. I visited the Heraklion museum around 18 months ago and spent some time studying the disk up close and brought home a replica. The presence of the walking man icon and the spiral form of the script always suggested to me that it was a record of some heroic journey - possibly involving Heracles, given the proximity to the city named after him.
The wiki page is very good;

As an aside, doesn't symbol 17 look like a classic flying saucer?

Fischer (amongst others) certainly was a 'hooked' investigator, when he wrote "Glyph-Breaker", focusing upon the Phaistos Disk in impressive detail.

The GoogleBooks link is (as ever) just a fragmentary extract.

Note that Amazon offers the Kindle version for £57.60 or in paperback via Prime at just £72.00.

I've located a cheaper copy, and just ordered it an hour ago. It looks to be an excellent attempt at a decode.

Hello. Is anyone listening?

The Phaistos disc inscription is a call to arms. It reads:

'Hear ye,Cretans and Greeks: my great, my quick! He ye, Danaidans, the great, the worthy! Hear ye, all blacks, and hear ye, Pudaan and Libyan immigrants! Hear ye, waters, yea earth: Hellas faces battle with the Carians. Hear ye all! Hear ye, Gods of the Fleet, aye hear ye all: faces battle with the Carians. Hear ye all! Hear ye, the multitudes of black people and all! Hear ye, lords, yea freeman: Hear ye, Lords of the Fleet: To Naxos!'

'Hear ye, ye immigrants, the great and the small; ye countrymen skilled, most stalwart; lords Idaian; all Cretans: Strike ye out with the Greeks and smite the Carians, mine enemy, and succor my stricken. Safeguard me, Idaians: I am sore afraid. Loose me now. My night, my great: Ye loose me now. These afflictions so terrible and so great, verily so molestful: Ye loose me now. Down to the sea, everyone! Yea, deliver me of my great afflictions!'

Allegedly....

And yes, I did buy one of those T-shirts too!

But, Ermintrude(r), I just clicked on your link and that T-shirt costs over £20!

Mine, bought at Knossos, was €3.50.

(Mind you, at the rate the Brexit-tainted £ is going, yours may be the better buy before too long).

Interesting. Protoslavic syllabic transliteration....http://www.wmmagazin.cz/view.php?cisloclanku=2011010004

Side A
They watch over every step of mine. Everything is forbidden to me. They take me as a cattle as a whore of the palace. Me! I mourn, ask for mercy, but it doesn’t pay off. Finally I feel like a whore. For all these horny men. I was writing secretly when being with the sheep. They pulled my hair to make me obey commands from the palace. They tortured me and let me lay in prison then. Enslavement, as sheep in the fence did baa when I was maltreated by bastards. I was crying over myself. I do suffer a lot.

Side B
Master got overeaten with hen and has a rest. He is well. I want to leave, to go to you. Despaired, I will walk, with no carriage, until exhausted. To you. They say that a bull stomped you. They can even kill you. I am full of sadness and desire. I want to go to you. Loved one come, hurry to me. I am afraid of them recognizing how much I long for kisses in your arms. Only the yoke of enslavement is waiting for me here. I am forsaken. Lost and pitiful, totally drowned in the slavery.

I think it has been proposed that it was an early form of board-game. The double-sided format reminds me of those economical compendia of games where the Ludo board would be flipped for Snakes & Ladders. :)
 
Arguably the earliest known example of movable type, predating the Chinese system of carved seals pressed into clay by some 2,000 years and over 3,000 years before Gutenberg.
