This happy piece of history (below) deceived me.- I failed to see the
risk of intriguers.


The decipherment of Linear B by Michael Ventris some fifty years ago is

the equivalent in the humanities of Crick and Watson's discovery of the

structure of DNA. Today it belongs in the same rare class as
Champollion's decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs in the nineteenth
century.
http://www.wwnorton.com/thamesandhudson/new/spring02/551077.htm


how Ventris solved what has been dubbed "the Everest of Greek
archaeology". Interviews with friends and contemporaries reveal Ventris

to be an eternal outsider and an unconventional thinker, and suggests
that it was precisely his exclusion from British public school cliques
and academic communities which afforded him the freedom to take
intellectual risks.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/documentaries/features/linear-b.shtml


Ventris hielt einen Vortrag über seine Arbeit beim Radiosender BBC,
wobei einer seiner Zuhörer John Chadwick war.

If you mean "serious" and "proved by its consequences", the answer is
YES : there is a decipherment, called "the Proto-Ionic Solution", which
*explains all the epigraphical facts* (like the scribe's corrections
and the source of the Hagen's "stems") and of which *all the
consequences have been verified by more than 30 undisputable facts*,
like a)- the existence of a Proto-Ionian people in the Aegean during
the Early Bronze Age b)- the existence of the caracteristics of their
Greek dialect c)- the path they used to come to Greece d)- etc.
Unhappily, all this has been published in three books only in French
(to be preferentially read in this order : "Les Proto-Ioniens..." ,
"Le déchiffrement du disque de Phaistos..." and "Les Origines Grecques
à l'Age de Bronze...") by the author, J. Faucounau. (But one, able to
read French, can still get pretty easily those books from any
e-bookshop selling books in French, like www.amazon.fr or
www.alapage.com. for instance, or from the editing house "L'Harmattan"
at <diffusion...@wanadoo.fr>)

I don't think so ... Any scholar who has seen the disk with his own
eyes agrees that the clearest remnants of the obliterated sign in A08
are a kind of V in relief, with one branch shorter than the other,
looking like a bent arm... That it's the arm of a monkey, as
J.Faucounau supposes, is certainly not obvious !.. But it seems a more
possible solution than yours...
I would appreciate if some of the readers of this post would give their
opinion about that, using your own excellent picture at
<http://web.gvdnet.dk/GVD002393/pro2.gif> :
"Can the "bent arm", remains of the obliterated sign, be coherent with
the remnants of a possible "sign P" (= the tree with two branches,
visible in the two other compartments represented in your figure),
which would have been printed upside down, or not ?" .
You say YES, I say NO. So, a poll on this question would be highly
interesting, in my opinion...

I have this piece of information to share.
Prof. K. Jeppsen suggests, in his analysis of the signs (KUML 1962.
p.179),
that the the eroded area in A08 hides the sign Q, also upside down.
Sign Q is, by the way, the second best choice according to my
arrangement.

1)- His name is M. Kristian Jeppesen.
2)- "Second best choice" or not, I notice that you are not sure anymore
of your "crucial proof" !..
3)- Other very dubious hypotheses have been launched concerning the
obliterated sign, ALL -including Jeppesen's one- not fitting with the
tracess left in the clay, following the opinion of the scholars who
have seen the disk with their own eyes (What was not the case of
Jeppesen, as far as I know) :
Jeppesen : Sign n° 40 inversed (= your sign Q)
Macalister : Sign n° 44
Read : Sign n° 36
Ipsen : Signs n°s 17 or 19
Schertel : Sign n° 39

The opinion of the "serious" scholars is that, as the traces left in
the clay don't fit with ANY of the known signs, one has to deal here
with a new sign ( Cf for instance Y. Duhoux, "Le disque de Phaestos" p.
33.

Ha! Ha! Ha!... A "decipherment" based upon several implausible
hypotheses and confirmed by NOT A SINGLE FACT ! (To be compared with
the c. 30/40 undeniable facts confirming the Proto-Ionic Solution).
Here is a short list of the most implausible hypotheses : 1)- the Disk
would be of Minoan origin 2)- Not only its language would be the same
as the one written in Linear A (consequence of hypothesis n° 1), but
the shape of the signs would be related 3)- the lack of "intermediary
syllabaries" between the Phaistos Disk and the Linear A tablets is
justified by a Cretan writing on papyrus 4)- Etc.

I maintain what I wrote : the Disk has been DEFINITELY deciphered, but
the ONLY CORRECT solution is the Proto-Ionic one, supported by more
than 40 pieces of evidence.

This is the way you delude yourself : each time there is a fact
contradicting your theory, you dismiss it or try to find some
explanation of it, instead of asking TO YOURSELF : "Wouldn't my theory
be wrong?". In other words, you consider the favourable facts as a
proof that you are correct, and dismiss the unfavourable ones. In a

And what do you call "meeting" ?.. If I understand correctly your
idea, each hieroglyph would represent an "event" occurring during one
day. So that, when the hieroglyph is found three separated times for
instance, the same "event" has occurred during three separated days.
But why this variable "grouping of days" (they group 2 to 7 days),
that you call "meeting" ?

The problem is that this symetrical figure is not the only one you have
presented !... So, one may wonder : why such variations in your
"perfect arrangement" ? If it would have been really so perfect, you
wouldn't have had to "improve" it so many times !...

Well, taking into account your imagination for finding "explanations"
to all what contradicts your basic hypotheses (The Disk is Minoan, it
is a Calendar, etc.), it's surprising !.. Wouldn't it be, this time,
the proof that you have taken the wrong path since the beginning, and
self-deluded yourself ?... I let you think by yourself about this

How do you expect "to maintain your status as an expert" if
1)- you voluntarily ignore the work of others. Example : you go on
saying that "the Disk cannot be a text" , although an irreproachable
solution of this kind does exist.
2)- you don't answer to questions. For instance, I asked you hereabove
:"What do you call 'meetings'?" and "How do you explain that an
artifact printed with non-Cretan stamps in a non-Cretan clay may be
Minoan?" , but you didn't answer.

x) I am an expert in the combinatorics of signs on the disc.
1) A twxt would be secondary to quantitative system that I find.
2) "Meetings" are of course like the unknown quantity in algebra ="X".
y) Non-Cretan yes, and non-Anything known before. So far I prefer
calling it Minoan.
