Hello gang! Here you have a new #anforscorner, about one of the most mysterious artifacts of the Minoan Bronze Age! The Phaistos Disc!

#comic #art #furry #avian #anthro #history #phaistos #phaistosdisc #minoan
"Anfor's Corner - The Phaistos Disc" Panel 1. Anfor, an anthropomorphic magpie, is holding a pair of book while have a diagram of the Side A of the Phaistos Disc: "It is 1908, the Italian archaeologist Luigi Pernier finds a clay disc while excavating the Minoan palace of Phaistos. It features a spiral text on both sides that no one can decipher, even today. " Panel 2. A list of all the symbols that appear on boths sides of the Phaistos Dics: "It contains 45 different symbols, spread over 123 characters on side a, and 119 on side b. Curiously they have been stamped on the clay, instead of being written. It is theorized to be a religious text, or maybe a board game, similar to the more older Ancient Egyptian "Mehen." Panel 3. A diagram of the Arkalochori Axe, and a detail of its symbols: "Curiously another minoan artifact, the Arkalochori Axe found in 1934, shares some symbols with the disc. It also has been suggested that it might be an alternate form of Linear A, due to some symbols being similar." Panel 4. Anfor concludes near a detail picture of the Phaistos disc, showing the symbols stamped on the clay: "Many people have tried to translate it, or claim to have translated it. Others are convinced it's a hoax. But until we find another object or text that can shed some light on the matter, it will remain a mystery."

What the Phaistos Disc says. A 3,500 year old clay disc with unknown symbols written on it in a spiral, found in the ruins of a Minoan palace on Crete. It appears to have come from elsewhere and the symbols don't match anything anyone has ever seen. A huge archeological mystery.

This type of Minoan pottery is known as Kamares Ware, named after the Kamares Cave on Mount Ida, Crete, where it was first discovered. Kamares Ware vessels were luxury items made in palace workshops at Phaistos and Knossos on Crete. These five cups excavated at Phaistos are dated 1800-1700 BC.

The Phaistos Disc or Phaistos Disk is a disk of fired clay from the island of Crete, Greece, possibly from the middle or late Minoan Bronze Age (second millennium BC), bearing a text in an unknown script and language. Its purpose and place of manufacture remain disputed. Museum of Heraklion.

Some of my favorite archaeological ceramics--certainly from the Bronze Age--are Minoan and Mycenaean Marine Style, and also the underappreciated Kamares Ware.

Fac-similé du disque de Phaistos, toujours non traduit. À vos cerveaux. Facsimile of the Phaistos Disc, still untranslated. Any enthusiasts ?

#photography #argentomagus
Les hiéroglyphes du disque de Phaistos pourraient dater du IIe millénaire avant notre ère. The hieroglyphs on the Phaistos Disc may date back to the second millennium BCE.
