Yes, there is a direct link between the Phaistos Disc
and the Vinca (Vincha) culture. Derk Ohlenroth deciphered
the pair of clay discs baked together in the early 1980s.
The language is an early Greek, one side celebrates
Eponymous Tiryns, the other Elaia's grove at Phigalia.
The script is a peculiar alphabet, with, four example,
six signs of the phonetical value A (alpha). In my opinion,
this alphabet was used for representing Tiryns and
Elaia'as grove as pictures. The star of eight points in
the center of the Tiryns side is a calendar and the sun
and a flower and a windrose, complex emblem of Zeus,
his name given as Ss Ey R or Sseyr, which became Doric
Sseus (Wilhelm Larfeld) Homeric Zeus. The star of eight
points also refers to the former Circular Building on the
limestone hill of Tiryns, the rosette of big blocks at the
basis of the former building still extant in situ. The male
profile near the center indicates Eponymous Tiryns,
the spiral Tiryns, the text along the margin the palisade
around Middle Helladic Tiryns, the protection enforced
by the magic of the powerful archaic banning formula,
the king and his town guarded by many soldiers and
their round shields - Derk Ohlenroth recognized the
shield as O and the soldiers as S, yielding the frequent
Greek ending -os -- having found that, he deciphered
both discs within two hours, having studied them for
years.
Now the other side represents Elaia's grove at Phigalia.
In the middle is an emblem of Demeter Elaia, in this
case Demeter Melaina: a baking oven, as it was also
found in sanctuaries of the bird goddess of the Vinca
(Vincha) culture, while loaf-shaped objects bear spirals.
I believe that Elaia's grove at Phigalia kept alive a memory
of the earlier Vinca sanctuaries, and was a botanical
institute of sorts, where a young man from Lycosoura
got advice from the priestesses, how to best plant cereals,
and how to grow edible olives, and this young man became
the ruler of Tiryns in between 1 700 and 1 650 BC and
safed the Argolis from a famine and was later honored
by Homer as the gardener Lord Laertes, father of Odysseus.
The Phaistos Disc would have been the model for a pair
of gold discs worn on the shoulders by Eponymous Tiryns
and his successors, as depicted on the marvellous gold
signet ring from a cache at Tiryns. We may hope that the
pair of gold discs will one day be found in another cache
of the sill only partly excavated site.
