A crummy commercial!? SON OF A B!T*H!

Archaeologists will soon begin efforts to decode other discs discovered at the site, which are believed to be part of an ancient boxed set.

On the disk, its author asserts that he likes large backsides(?), and then he asserts his veracity, and says that others of his tribe cannot dispute what he says. When he is approached by a hungry goddess, who then turns away from his face, he is undone.

“I like big butts and I cannot lie...”

[Larry Lucido]

There is clearly a strip of bacon on the outer edge at seven o’clock. Next to a ghost.

[Cowboy Bob]

Yes! I saw the ritz cracker symbol several times and was going to comment on it!

[BenLurkin]

Her name was Bertha. hHe was one of the Butt sisters.

[BenLurkin]

I don’t think there is enough text on which to base a translation — but heaven knows I’m no expert.

[Manic_Episode]

Looks delicious!

[minnesota_bound]

Others that wait to be deciphered....

[zeugma]

Would have been better witha picture of an AOL CD.

[JRios1968]

Nah, THIS is what they found

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks BenLurkin. Barry Fell's translation remains the one to beat; this current claim appears to be some anachronistic cryptofeminist axegrinding, inventing a Minoan mother goddess. Those interested should check the phaistosdisk keyword.

The disk is a desert menu. The most common is a seven chipped toll house cookie

[left that other site]

Back-up Files for an ancient Greeting Card Company’s designs for Mother’s Day cards.

Always Save your Data. You never know when you might need it again.

[Grimmy]

I read it as saying “Dude! Put your beer mug down on this! Not the table! and maybe mom will quit hitting you upside the head with a brick!”

[TruthWillWin]

Could be porn?

[colorado tanker]

OK, I accept the mother goddess thing is a bunch of hooey, but please don’t tell me Minoan women didn’t walk around topless!

• Phaistos Disk: Greek or Luwian?
• Phaistos Disc declared as fake by scholar
• Decipherments of the Phaistos Disk: NOT!
• 4000-Year-Old Phaistos Disk Decoded

(’: The “Snake Goddess” figurine found by Evans proves that the “palace” was really just a hotel, strip joint, and brothel. :’)
