Archaeologists will soon begin efforts to decode other discs discovered at the site, which are believed to be part of an ancient boxed set.
To: BenLurkin
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 don’t think there is enough text on which to base a translation — but heaven knows I’m no expert.

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.

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!
