The Phaistos disk

A unique exhibit of the Heraklion Archaeological Museum is the clay Phaistos Disc. The hieroglyphics and ideograms that are inscribed on the disc run in a spiral from the edge to the center of it. The script has not yet been deciphered.
Over the twentieth century there has been an endless list of archaeologists, linguists, anthropologists and even astronomers that have provided their own theories for the disc’s interpretation or intended function. Amongst the most interesting are the explanations that the disc is a very advanced form of ancient calendar, or a cosmic map in which elements inside the carved spiral mark the position of stars in our galaxy.
