Phaistos Disc - Minoan Bronze Age - 2000 BC - A Lost Message from Ancient Greece - Museum Reproduction - pure bronze statue Condition: New, Made in Greece. Material: Pure Bronze Height: 17 cm - 6,7 inches Width: 16 cm - 6,3 inches Length: 4,5 cm - 1,8 inches Weight: 940 g The Phaistos Disc
(also spelled Phaistos Disk, Phaestos Disc) is a disk of fired clay
from the Minoan palace of Phaistos on the island of Crete, possibly
dating to the middle or late Minoan Bronze Age (second millennium B.C.).
The disk is about 15 cm (5.9 in) in diameter and covered on both sides
with a spiral of stamped symbols. Its purpose and its original place of
manufacture remain disputed. It is now on display at the archaeological
museum of Heraklion. The disc was discovered in 1908 by the Italian
archaeologist Luigi Pernier in the Minoan palace-site of Phaistos, and
features 241 tokens, comprising 45 distinct signs, which were apparently
made by pressing hieroglyphic "seals" into a disc of soft clay, in a
clockwise sequence spiraling toward the center of the disk. The
Phaistos Disc captured the imagination of amateur and professional
archaeologists, and many attempts have been made to decipher the code
behind the disc's signs. 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. Attempts at decipherment
are generally thought to be unlikely to succeed unless more examples of
the signs are found, as it is generally agreed that there is not enough
context available for a meaningful analysis. ΣΕΜ 117100160001 ΔΙΣΚΟΣ ΦΑΙΣΤΟΥ XΡ - 35
