BOOK SUMMARY
The Phaistos Disc contains an ideographic script, independent of any language. The script
has been deciphered, and turns out to describe the religion of Crete. The disc has been
made in Crete, even in the Palace of Phaistos itself, where it was also found. It is
accurately dated at c.1458 BC, at the start of a civil war, at the very end of the New
Palace Culture. It gives an accurate desciption of daily life on Crete, showing the yearly
production of goods, and the number of people working in all parts of society. It contains
a complete history of Crete and Egypt, including dates, palaces, dynasties, Kings, years
of reign, sizes of the fleet, and population numbers. New information is now available,

2. a.o. about Dynasties 1, 2, 3, and the First and Second Intermediate Periods of Egypt.
Natural catastrophes are also mentioned. Dates are provided for the early discoveries of
all important land areas on Earth, including Australia, America via the Bering Sea, and
America via the Atlantic, as well as descriptions of the sailing routes to reach these
continents. Finally, it reveils the unknown history of the copper and tin trade with
America in the Bronze Age.
