The Phaistos Disc, a 4000-year-old artifact with an undeciphered language. Who created it and why?
The disc was discovered in a Minoan palace, but its language doesn't match any known script. Scholars debate if it's a hoax or a genuine artifact.
The Phaistos Disc, discovered in 1908 in a Minoan palace in Crete, remains one of archaeology's greatest enigmas. The clay disc is covered in symbols, arranged in a spiral, but none match any known scripts. Its purpose, origin, and the meaning of its symbols remain unknown. Scholars have proposed theories ranging from it being a religious text, a calendar, or even a board game, but none have been unanimously accepted. Some even suggest it's a sophisticated hoax, but for what purpose?
