Phaistos[Phaestos] Disc-Minoan Script, Crete(1908)

In 1908, an Italian researcher delved into the remains of Phaistos, a bygone Minoan stronghold situated on Crete's southern shoreline. Within a subterranean temple vault, amid scorched remains, grime, & cinders, he unearthed a remarkably preserved disc with a gold tint. It is a broad, sienna-hued, baked clay circular plate measuring around 15 cm (5.91 inches) across and 1 cm (0.39 inches) in thickness.
