Anyone who has been to Crete for a while and visited the Minoan palaces in Knossos, Phaistos or Malia, had the opportunity to face huge clay pitos. Great, often reaching the height of modern man, decorated in various ways today, become the main motive of many commemorative photographs taken by the astonished tourists.
The Fajstos disk is made of clay and has a diameter of about 16 cm, and its thickness varies between 16 and 21 mm. Its both sides (A and B) are covered with groups of repeating 45 characters arranged in a spiral, totaling 241 (although some sources give 244). It is not known which of the parties is the first and which is the second, and what is the correct direction of "reading" the inscription - from the inside or from the outside.
