Here is a truly unsolved mystery – The Phaistos Disk. Undeciphered to this day, and quite beautiful to look at. When I traveled in Greece I purchased a silver ring with an image of this disk. The inscriptions continue to mystify me. Could it be just an ancient doodle? Symbols from a fake language created by kids, sort of like pig latin? Is it art? Or do these symbols represent an undiscovered ancient tongue?

Deep thought: I wonder what the folks at The Rosetta Project have to say about the Phaistos Disk? Perhaps they borrowed the object’s spiral format for the design of their prototype? Hmmmm….
