Answer:
Explanation:
The disc was discovered in 1908 by the Italian archaeologist Luigi Pernier in the Minoan palace-site of Phaistos and features 241 tokens, comprising 45 distinct signs, which were apparently made by pressing hieroglyphic "seals" into a disc of soft clay, in a clockwise sequence spiraling toward the center of the disk.
With its 242 mysterious symbols on both sides, archeologists believe that the Phaistos Disc depicts a Bronze Age writing system, one of the oldest in Europe. Furthermore, evidence that these symbols were stamped into the clay implies a highly developed writing system that was frequently used.
