4000-Year-Old Phaistos Disk Decoded
October 28, 2014
Scientists have been trying to decipher the mysterious “Phaistos Disk” markings ever since the clay disk from the Second Millenium B.C. was first discovered in 1908 on the Greek island of Crete. And it seems like they’ve finally cracked the code.
At 4,000 years old, the relic dates back to the Minoan civilization and features an inscription that boasts a mysterious language, with symbols on both sides in a spiral configuration, which can be read inward from the outside rim.
Researchers have been studying the puzzling artifact since its discovery, and now Dr. Gareth Owens, of the Technological Educational Institute of Crete, says he has solved the century-old enigma. Or at least part of it.

It depends on how you read it. Clockwise it says "number nine...number nine....number nine"
Read counterclockwise, you wonder if Pamesijos is dead.

It seems they’re congratulating themselves a bit early.
They bought a vowel, didn’t get gonged, and pretend they’ve solved the puzzle.
