How do I solve the Phaistos Disk mystery if it hasn't been solved by archaeologists yet?

Question

I got a homework assignment for my Development of Civilization class and it says: Research the disk and find its true meaning. How am I supposed to decipher it if nobody else in the world has?!

By the way what's Linear A mean?

Answer 1

Since no one has deciphered it, I think what the assignment is, is to develop a plausible theory. Like the Mayan calender, it could tell dates or the ten commandments rules to live by.

Answer 2

Since it was found in Crete, and dated to appx. 1700 BCE, it was probably a Phoenician artifact...

Because it contains hieroglyphics different from the Egyptian, which is older, the language of the Phoenicians formed a bridge to the later Aramaic & Hebrew dialects!

Try that theory...
