"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."
