He’s interviewed here, says he used the work of his hero Michael Ventris, who found Greek in Linear B, to help crack the Phaistos script, which he then claims is very like Linear A, the presumed script of the Minoans.

BTW, Linear A cannot be read either. :’)

If you look at the way the walking figures are arranged I’ve sometimes thought it related to walking down of a ceremonial spiral mound not unlike Silbury Hill (which dates from nearly 5000 years ago) in conjunction with also walking around an associated path around the mound.

If that were the case then maybe there’s another disk somewhere for walking up?
