THIS. WHAT CAN I EVEN SAY ABOUT THIS. WELL, IT’S ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS MYSTERIES IN ARCHEOLOGY. It’s the Phaistos Disc. It is a disk of fired clay from the Minoan palace of Phaistos on the Greek island of Crete, possibly dating to the middle or late Minoan Bronze Age. So it’s about FOUR THOUSAND YEARS OLD. Your two lovely admins got to see this thing in real life in the Heraklion Museum of Archeology.
