This Phaistos Disc is a representative replica of the clay disc found in the Minoan palace of Phaistos on the island of Crete in 1908 and now on display at the archeological museum of Heraklion.

 

The mystery of the Phaistos Disc has been “solved by 99percent” says Gareth Owens, a linguist, archaeologist, and coordinator of the program Erasmus of Crete Technological Institute.  According to his data, the disc is religious text to a “pregnant goddess” that takes shape in the face of Astarte,the goddess of love.


Whether it’s a gift for your god- or goddess-of-love, your mantle or your collection, it brings with it a story that exists in antiquity.
