The Phaistos Disc is a disk of fired clay from the Minoan palace of Phaistos on the island of Crete. Now, the island of Crete is part of modern Greece. The disc was discovered in 1908 by the Italian archaeologist Luigi Pernier in the Minoan palace-site of Phaistos. While it is not clear that it is a script, most attempted decipherments assume that it is most additionally assume a syllabary, others an alphabet or logography or a calendar.
''The inscription was performed by pressure of preformed hieroglyphic seals on the soft clay, in a spiral sequence towards the center of the disc. This was then cooked at high temperature. Some archaeologists assume that the writing of Festos' disc is Minoan, but it is neither linear A nor linear B. Approximately 10 signs of the disc are similar to signs of linear writing. For this reason, other specialists attribute a non-Cretan origin to it. For example, according to the "protojonic" theory, the album would be the work of a Cycladic people.
Yves Duhoux (1977) dates it between 1850 and 1650 a. C., based on Pernier's report indicating that the album was found in an unchanged Middle Minoan context. Jeppesen (1963) places it after 1400 a. C., based on a mistranslation of Pernier's report. Doubting the feasibility of Pernier's report, Louis Godart (1990) merely admits that archaeologically the disc can be dated at any time from the middle and late Minoan eras. J. Best (in Achterberg et al. 2004) suggests a date in the first half of the fourteenth century a. C., founding it in its dating of the PH1 tablet found along with the disc.
Dr. Jerome M. Eisenberg, editor-in-chief of minerva, The International Review of Ancient Art & Archaeology, published an article stating bluntly that the album is a fraud. According to Eisenberg, the album would be the work of his supposed discoverer, Luigi Pernier.
There are 61 "words", made with 45 distinct signs, 31 on side A and 30 on side B, numbered A1 to A31 and B1 to B30, respectively, from the outside in which they appear to constitute a syllabary instead of an alphabet. The following transcription is a reading in that order (with the signs "head feathered" at the beginning of the words and cross marks at the end). The shortest word has two symbols, and the longest seven. Marks or strikethroughs are transcribed here as forward slashes (/). The transcription begins on the five-point vertical line, circulating once along the edge of the disc clockwise (13 words in A, 12 in B) before continuing spiraling toward the center (18 more words on each side). The final sign of a word in A8 is erased; Godart notes that it might look like signs 3 or 20. Evans considered the A-side to be the front, but since then new technical arguments have been inclined to think that the front side is the B.
It should be mentioned that the sense of reading is one of the classic topics of discussion among specialists. The outdoor reading mentioned in the previous paragraph is not the most accepted, much less.
The transcription signs shown below are oriented from left to right (or right to left, if reading begins at the center of the spiral instead of its outer edge) and can be read following the direction of the profiles of human and animal figures as read by Anatolian hieroglyphics. But in Egyptian it reads against, that is, the other way around. So, following the Egyptian system would justify reading the disc from the outside inwards.
