Decrypting the Phaistos Disk ?
#1
Maybe you already know this … the news is from Oct, 21 2014

Gareth Owens, coordinator at the Technological Educational Institute of Crete, believes that the Phaistos Disk – a round clay object dated close to 1700 B.C - is dedicated to a “great lady of importance”, the mother goddess of the Minoan era and that now they are close to decrypting it

It is the way the disc was inscribed which is ultimately more interesting - by way of individual stamps. The first time in history a text was assembled by individual 'letters', more than 3.000 years before Gutenberg.
