The Minoan civilization's most mysterious ancient disk contains a strange message

The Phaistos Disc is one of the most mysterious artifacts ever discovered, bearing never-fully deciphered symbols from the ancient Minoan civilization.

1. The artifact was discovered at the Phaistos Palace on the island of Crete. The Phaistos Disc was found by Italian archaeologist Luigi Pernier in 1908 in an underground room of the Phaistos Palace – the center of Minoan civilization. Photo: Pinterest.

2. Round in shape, about 15 cm in diameter. The plate is made of baked clay, with both sides containing stamped spiral symbols, a total of about 241 symbols. Photo: Pinterest.

3. One of the earliest examples of ancient "printing". The symbols on the Phaistos Disk were stamped onto soft clay, leading many researchers to consider it the first form of "printing" in human history. Photo: Pinterest.

4. The symbols have not been deciphered. Although there have been many hypotheses, to this day no one is certain of the true language and meaning of these symbols, adding to the mystery of the artifact. Photo: Pinterest.

5. May be related to religious ritual. Some scholars believe that the Phaistos Disc may be a hymn, prayer, or ancient religious ritual text. Photo: Pinterest.

6. No other similar artifacts have been found. Despite extensive excavations at other Minoan sites, archaeologists have never found another plate like Phaistos – making it a “one-of-a-kind.” Photo: Pinterest.

7. Some have questioned the authenticity of the disc. It has been suggested that the Phaistos Disc may be an early 20th century forgery, but most scholars have seriously dismissed this idea. Photo: Pinterest.

8. On display at the Heraklion Archaeological Museum. The famous museum of the city of Heraklion on the island of Crete is where visitors can see this mysterious artifact with their own eyes. Photo: Pinterest.
