Robert Bradford Lewis An Explication of the Phaistos Disk https://www.phaistosdisk.com/ Accessed on 2023-08-25 Undated, but in the source there are some 2021 dates. Amateur, superficial analyisis of the disk results in getting the direction wrong. "I have looked for a syllabary here. I have searched for phonemic orthography and an alphabet here as well. Their likelihood here seems remote, to the best of my ability to discern, and frankly, I have found a perfectly serviceable solution in a writing system comprised entirely of logograms, pictograms, compounds and determinatives." ... "On the recto side is a royal genealogy of deified kings, and on the verso side, is a mythical flood narrative."

Article pointing out two artifacts from Minoan Grete that bear signs similar to 21 COMB, specifically a potter's mark under the bottom of a bowl, and an impression from a sealing stamp.

"[...] the spiral being the age-old symbol, found in cultures the world over, of creation, life-giving and aspiration, of birth and rebirth, and of spiritual development and our identity with the universe [...] although there are theories [...] that the disc portrays an address to a goddess of childbirth or fertility.

Rumpel (1990) Glottometrika, volume 12, pages 131-149. Assigns open syllables ("Ba", "Be", ... "Yu") "so as not to coincide with those of Pelasgic or Aegean languages" for computer analysis. Assumes the reading is center-out, because "the text seems to 'make some sense' when read in this direction". (?) Notes that there are many repeated pairs, triples, and even quadruples of signs. Makes some long guesses about grammar. Michael Trauth (1990): "The Phaistos Disc and the Devil's Advocate: On the Aporias of an Ancient Topic of Research".

Quote: "Crete as [the] source of the Disc can no longer be called into question." Diameter varies from 15.8 to 16.5 cm, thickness from 1.6 to 2.1 cm. Cites Rumpel "the museum o Hagios Nikolaos houses the 'head of a female worshipper from Middle Minoan mountaintop santuary of Petsophas' with a headdress similar to that of 6 WOMAN." Notes that half of the signs appear on only one side, and the most frequent ones have very different frequencies on each side, arguing that it is evidence *against* syllabary. Another argument is that the "words" would have too many syllables. Concludes that it is mostly ideographic.
